IFS Food Certificate Food Safety Standard
IFS Food assesses food products and production processes against safety, authenticity, quality, legal and customer requirements. Read Version 8 with its current doctrine, including the April 2026 update. Food is not automatically the appropriate scope for a business providing only logistics.
Scope and current rules
For a first IFS Food discussion, provide site address, product and technology scopes, customer specifications, shifts and current certification history. Include a representative recipe, label and batch record with revision identifiers. Show any mismatch between promised product characteristics and present operations before requesting the audit arrangement.
Connect preparation to real production
Nominate who validates specifications and who controls production records. Preparation links product requirements to the operating evidence and an action plan; the approved body confirms competence, scope and assessment arrangements. A commercial request starts clarification, not certification: unresolved recipe or label discrepancies need a product decision and demonstrable correction.
A hypothetical producer starts a customer’s new recipe while planning to use old labels. Compare recipe, allergen declaration, specification and label versions. First identify affected batches and document the product decision if they conflict; editing a label in the document folder does not resolve physical stock. Customer approval, actual production and corrective-action evidence must refer to the same product version.
Independent decision and consultancy
IFS Food audits are annual, and at least one in every three audits must be unannounced. Readiness therefore cannot depend on a single booked date. Track product and technology changes, complaints and corrective actions throughout the year, including effects of the current doctrine.
Kayra Patent consultancy supports scope definition, record organisation and tracking unfinished preparation work. The relevant authorised or scheme approved body performs the audit and makes the certification decision. Separate consultancy and that body’s services in the quotation.
