IFS Food (International Featured Standards, currently Version 8) is a GFSI-recognised certification standard for companies processing food or packing loose food products. Like BRCGS, it is often required by retailers and buyers, particularly in European supply chains.
IFS Food places strong emphasis on food safety and product quality, with a distinctive scoring system and knock-out (KO) criteria that must be met. It covers management responsibility, a food safety (HACCP) system, resource management, operational processes and measurement — and RTNTS UAE supports you as an approved training partner and consultant.
