IFS Food Standard
The focus of all IFS standards is on enhancing transparency in the supply chain, while IFS Food Standard particularly is used for auditing food manufacturers. It combines the requirements of the HACCP system with the principles of good business and hygiene. This standard is especially important for private label manufacturers, as it contains many requirements related to the compliance with customer specifications. Its main goal is to ensure transparency throughout the entire supply chain, establish a common standard quality and to reduce costs and time for manufacturers and retailers.
