What is IFS Food?

The IFS Food v. 8 standard is an international standard for food safety and quality. It is one of the most recognized tools for assessing the safety and quality of food products. Developed with input from industry experts, retailers, and certification bodies, it has been approved by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) as a comprehensive solution for food manufacturers.

IFS Food applies wherever food is processed or there is a risk of contamination during primary packaging. This standard is particularly important for companies producing for private labels, where compliance with customer requirements and process transparency are key.

The standard's requirements focus on five key areas:

• Management commitment and responsibility for the quality system
• Quality and food safety management system
• Resource management (personnel, infrastructure, work environment)
• Operational processes, including production and packaging
• Monitoring, analysis, and continuous improvement

Obtaining the IFS Food certificate confirms that a company has implemented the principles of the IFS Food Standard, operates in accordance with industry best practices, meets market expectations and ensures food safety.
