Food
Lo standard IFS Food audita i prodotti e i processi di produzione per valutare la capacità di un produttore alimentare di realizzare prodotti sicuri, autentici e di qualità in conformità ai requisiti di legge e alle specifiche del cliente.
Aiuta le aziende a soddisfare le crescenti richieste di trasparenza e rintracciabilità del mercato e contribuisce a migliorare l'integrità
del prodotto e ad aumentare l'efficienza. Gli audit sono condotti da auditor IFS qualificati che lavorano per enti di certificazione indipendenti e accreditati.
Gli Standard IFS sono soggetti a valutazione da parte di organizzazioni governative o private. Per saperne di più sull'accreditamento e il riconoscimento dello Standard IFS Food, consultare il sito.

IFS Food 8 gains GFSI recognition
16.09.2024Berlin, 16 September 2024 – We are delighted to share IFS Food Standard version 8 has successfully achieved recognition against GFSI Benchmarking Requirements v2020.
The IFS Food Standard reviews products and production processes to evaluate a food producer’s ability to produce safe products according to legal requirements and customer specifications. We launched the first standard 22 years ago. Having over 20,000 IFS Food Certificates today, IFS has become a leading standard worldwide and the market leader in Europe. Major retail, wholesale, and food service companies trust our standards fit their specific needs and contribute to consumers finding safe and good quality private-label products in their stores.
In today’s announcement on their website Erica Sheward, GFSI Director, said, “We congratulate IFS on gaining GFSI recognition of their Food Standard v8. We commend IFS’s dedication to maintaining the rigorous standards necessary to ensure food safety across international markets.”
Stephan Tromp, IFS Managing Director, said, “We are delighted with the continued recognition of IFS Food version 8 by GFSI. This confirms the high level at which IFS operates and provides the food industry with a globally accepted standard. At IFS, we are committed to food safety and process excellence. IFS Food Certification supports the relationship between industry, retail, wholesale, and food service. A growing number of companies worldwide embrace our unique approach to product and process certification.”
GFSI recognition of IFS Food 8 is an important prerequisite for IFS Stakeholders. GFSI is an initiative of the Consumer Goods Forum, a private organisation of food industry companies. The organisation has defined benchmarking requirements to promote mutual acceptance of GFSI-recognised certification programs. GFSI assesses if the standards and procedures of certification program owners such as IFS are according to their benchmarking requirements.
See the full GFSI announcement.
