What is IFS Food?
IFS Food v. 8 is an international standard for food safety and quality. It is one of the most widely recognized tools used to assess the safety and quality of food products. Developed with the involvement of industry experts, retailers, and certification bodies, it has been approved by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) as a comprehensive solution for food manufacturers.
The IFS Food standard applies wherever food is processed or where there is a risk of contamination during primary packaging. It is particularly important for companies producing private label products, where compliance with customer requirements and transparency of processes are essential.
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.
