Course overview

In 2003 the German retail federation HDE and its French counterpart FCD created a common food safety and quality standard to assess food suppliers of private-label products. That was the first IFS Food Standard. Today it is recognised internationally by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).

IFS Food builds on a food safety and quality management system, with the emphasis on confidence in products and processes: safety, quality, legality and compliance with customer requirements are verified through on-site evaluation and documentation review.
