Logistics management of food and not foodIFS Logistic

Who is concerned?

Any organisation, regardless of its type or size, involved in the logistics management of both food and non-food products

Framework

Following the growing use of private labels in the food retail industry, the associated members of the German retail federation (HDE), in collaboration with the federation of French retailers and the Italian association of retailers, developed standards that would help protect retailers by defining strict criteria for the qualification and selection of their suppliers. 
Retail chains and producers share the aim of trying to achieve maximum transparency and efficiency over the whole food supply chain, including logistical activities, which represent a fundamental link, particularly with respect to cold chain management. 
The IFS Logistics standard was developed by German, French and Italian retailers in collaboration with the IFS North America working group.
Achieving certification against the IFS Logistics standard is essential for all companies wishing to expand their market and demonstrate to high-volume retailers that their logistics (transportation, storage, distribution, loading and off-loading) comply with the standard requirements.The IFS Logistics standard is internationally recognized as a GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) scheme.
