The IFS (International Food Standard) is a uniform standard for providers of proprietary brands. The new standard aims at further improving the product quality and comparability of production sites of food manufacturers. IFS certification at higher level constitutes the highest quality standard for the food industry.

The IFS audit catalogue covers the following points, which undergo in-depth inspection:

1. Management of the Quality System
2. Management Responsibility
3. Resource Management
4. Product Realisation
5. Measurements, Analyses, Improvements

The IFS was developed by the Federal Association of German Retail Federations (Bundesvereinigung deutscher Handelsverbände e.V.) and is supported by the Paris-based Global Food Safety Initiative, an association of international retailers.
