About the standard
IFS standards guarantee the standardization of quality, safety and operational criteria and ensure that manufacturers and suppliers fulfill their responsibilities, offering safe and compliant products to the end consumer.
Certification to IFS standards is often a fundamental requirement for leading retailers, private labels, manufacturers and food service companies internationally.
IFS standards apply to different sectors within the supply chain, including food manufacturing, packaging materials, logistics and product trade, among others. Each standard integrates key elements such as top management commitment, risk assessment, hazard analysis (HACCP), quality management and good manufacturing practices.
Control Union is accredited to certify some categories under IFS standards globally, helping to ensure confidence in the quality and safety of products in international markets.
