The IFS Wholesale and Cash & Carry (C&C) Standard is for assessing the safety and quality of products and processes of wholesalers, cash & carry businesses and packing companies. It supports these businesses in meeting the growing transparency and traceability demands in the market and contributes to increased efficiency. The standard is applicable for wholesale and cash & carry businesses handling food, HPC products or packaging materials as well as packing companies for eggs, fruit, and vegetables.
The standard covers governance and commitment, product safety and quality management, resource management, core processes, and measurements, analysis, and improvements. It provides numerous advantages for companies, such as an enhanced business reputation, compliance with regulations, ongoing process improvement, a risk-based and non-prescriptive approach allowing individual risk assessments, and customised solutions.
