IFS Food 8

IFS Food 8 is the main IFS standard for the food industry and is used by companies involved in food processing and packaging.

Launched with the aim of increasing transparency and safety in the food industry, this standard covers all aspects of processing, from the sourcing of raw materials to the final product for consumption. IFS Food 8 has been constantly updated to align with current European and international regulations.

Who can implement it

The industry that applies this standard includes food manufacturers, distributors and packers, regardless of the type of food product they handle. IFS Food 8 is recognised by European certification bodies and is aligned with the latest food safety requirements.

This standard also aims to complement the European ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards) framework, without creating major overlaps, but contributing to improving corporate responsibility in the food sector.
