The objective of IFS Food certification is to assess whether a manufacturer’s processing activities are capable of producing products that are safe, comply with legislation and meet customer specifications. Therefore, both product safety and quality are essential components of all IFS Standards.

The IFS Assessment is product and process focused and ensures that the development of high-quality products is guaranteed through compliantly functioning processes.

IFS Standards are global, uniform safety and quality standards that provide transparency and comparability throughout the entire post-primary production supply chain. In this way, IFS strives to face all the challenges of globalization in addition to the constantly growing significance of the private brands for which retailers are responsible.

An IFS certification makes it possible to reduce the costs of long and repetitive audits and, additionally, supports company management through uniform reports and a modern, user-friendly Database.
