IFS : International Featured Standards

27 Oct 2023

IFS Management GmbH, owned by the retail associations HDE and FCD, develops globally recognized product quality and safety standards and development programs for companies within the food and consumer goods supply chain companies. IFS comprises six different food and non-food standards and four development programs. These assess if private label and branded product suppliers can deliver safe, quality products in line with regulations and customer specifications. This way, IFS helps ensure that consumers can trust that the products they find on retail shelves are safe and of good quality.

 

IFS joined IAF as an Association Member in 2020, and in 2023 signed an agreement with IAF for the inclusion of its IFS Food scheme in the IAF MLA.
