Where Food Comes From, Inc.'s Validus Division Receives New ISO Accreditation for Numerous Safe Quality Food (SQF) Sectors

CASTLE ROCK, CO--(Marketwired - Feb 29, 2016) - Where Food Comes From, Inc. (d.b.a. IMI Global, Inc.) (OTCQB: WFCF), the most trusted resource for independent, third-party verification of food production practices in North America, today announced the accreditation of Validus, a division of Where Food Comes From, to ISO/IEC 17065 for nine modules from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). 

In order to become an accredited certifying body, companies must follow rigorous policy requirements. Once a company is established as a certifying body, their employees must be trained in and demonstrate expertise in Safe Quality Food (SQF) -- specific areas called Food Sector Categories. A certifying body may only perform audits in the area in which they have a certified SQF Auditor. This achievement allows Validus to conduct SQF audits in 10 different Food Sector Categories (FSC) including:

FSC 1- Production, Capture, and Harvesting of Livestock and Game Animals
FSC 2- Growing and Harvesting of Animal Feeds
FSC 7- Slaughterhouse, Boning and Butchery Operations
FSC 8- Processing of Manufactured Meats and Poultry
FSC 9- Seafood Processing
FSC 10- Dairy Food Processing
FSC 12- Egg Processing
FSC 18- Preserved Foods Manufacture
FSC 32- Manufacture of Pet Food
FSC 34- Manufacture of Animal Feed

"Food safety is a main concern of consumers today," stated Earl Dotson, CEO of Validus. "We are proud to have achieved ISO 17065 Accreditation to continue to provide our clients with the professional auditing services they have come to expect from our team.
