Following the last IFS International Technical Committee meeting, composed with different experts from retailers, manufacturers, food services and certification bodies, IFS has made 2 new decisions, which came into force the 1st July 2013.
Certification bodies have already been informed about these 2 new decisions and apply them accordingly since 1st July. Updated IFS “normative” documents will be updated in October, including these two new decisions. Be sure we will keep you informed if you follow this blog.
| 1. decision: Postponing of issuing Major NC’s on food defense chapter | ||
As food defense requirements are not yet fully implemented by food processing companies, it has been decided to extend to one more year, to 1st July 2014, the decision not to score any Major non-conformities on the food defense chapter (chapter 6 of IFS Food 6 audit checklist). This additional year should allow companies to implement properly the food defense requirements. In AMBICAL we have wide experience implementing IFS food defense requirements.
