INTERNATIONAL FEATURED STANDARD (IFS) FOOD

LRQA is a market-leading provider of IFS Food V7 assessment, auditing renowned global food manufacturers against the food safety standard. IFS assesses the ability of food manufacturers to comply with food safety requirements and demonstrate due diligence and uniformity, which in turn drives supply chain security and trust.

Developed together with suppliers and retailers, the updated IFS Food V7 aims to ensure comparability and transparency for the consumer throughout the entire supply chain and enables you to prove not only that your products are safe, but that you meet retailer specifications as well.
