The development of the IFS standard was based on ever-rising demands of consumers, increasing liabilities of retailers and wholesalers, increasing legal requirements, and the globalization of product supply.

Structure/Recognition
The IFS is divided into four main sections: audit protocol, technical requirements (which includes senior management responsibility, quality management system, resource management, etc), requirements for accreditation bodies, certification bodies and auditors, and reporting.
The IFS program is recognized by the Global Food Safe Initiative (GFSI), and is also specified worldwide by many retail chains.

FSSC 22000 Food Safety System Certification – GFSI Webinar
Presenter(s): Fons Schmid, Chairman of the Board of Stakeholders and Marleen de Vries, General Secretary at FSSC 22000
Many food manufacturers are under pressure to meet various customer requirements. This can lead to multiple audits and systems so the cost can become onerous. As FSSC 22000 has been approved by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), it allows companies that achieve FSSC 22000 certification to meet the requirements of several global retailers or major branded food companies under a single, internationally recognized food safety management system.
The standard is designed for food manufacturers who supply or intend to supply their products to major food retailers or major branded food companies. Manufacturers that are already certified against the ISO 22000 standard will only need an additional review against the PAS 220 in order to meet the FSSC 22000 certification scheme.
In this complimentary Webinar sponsored by QMI-SAI Global you will be provided with an overview of the standard presented by Fons Schmid, Chairman of the Board of Stakeholders and Marleen de Vries, General Secretary at FSSC 22000 and will find out:
