IFS

The International Food Standard (IFS) builds on ISO 9001, and implements additional legislative requirements, the principles of good practice, the HACCP risk analysis and refers as well to EU-legislation concerning the handling of allergens and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
The IFS standard aims to create an unique evaluation for all brand manufactures and distributors, including compatibility of audits due to consistent contents and handling and compatibility of audit results within the supply chain.

IFS certification is relevant for

  • Private label food manufacturers;
  • Food transport and shipping companies;
  • Other companies in the food industry which are reviewed within contractor audits.

Your benefits from an IFS certification

  • Increased productivity of your company due to frequent process optimisation;
  • Greater product safety and a resulting reduction in product liability risk;
  • Strengthened trust between you and your consumers; and
  • Increased brand equity valuation of your brand and company image
