IFS owns the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) IFS Food standard, the IFS Logistics and other supply chain standards with more than 12,000 certifications globally.
The IFS PACsecure food safety standard for packaging materials will shortly be submitted for GFSI benchmarking and is expected to be available around the world in the fall of 2012.
