Quality
Good, Better, Erbacher Food Intelligence: We Achieved IFS "Higher Level" Certification Again
published on
2.04.2024Passed with flying colors: In February, Erbacher Food
Intelligence underwent an intensive IFS audit and achieved the coveted
"Higher Level" status. This success not only underscores our pursuit
of excellence but also the high-quality standards we set in the
production of our customised products. But what is an IFS audit, and what does
the standard entail?
IFS Audit: What it's about
The International Featured Standards (IFS) Food certificate is
an internationally recognised standard ensuring the safety and quality of food
and products in the supply chain. The IFS audit, successfully completed by EFI,
comprehensively examines various processes and systems, from incoming goods to
storage and the actual production process. Specific control points such as CP
and CCP, magnets, screens, and metal detectors are thoroughly scrutinised. All
areas, from quality management to the laboratory, undergo intensive scrutiny.
This not only guarantees the quality of products but also ensures
safety throughout the production chain. The audit lasts for a full two days and
spans all involved departments. There are scheduled IFS audits as well as
unannounced ones. The latter occur every three years and are designed to ensure
that a production facility meets quality criteria even when not prepared for a
review.
"Higher Level" – A sign of excellence
Achieving the "Higher Level" designation in the IFS
audit is an outstanding result that confirms our commitment to the highest
quality. After all, it surpasses industry-recognised standards and signifies to
our customers that they can expect only the best from us.
Want it to be good? Then we are your partner!
Erbacher Food Intelligence's quality standards are ensured not
only through external certifications such as Organic, ISO 9001, EMAS, and HACCP
(an overview can be found here), but also through internal
measures. Our accredited laboratory, for example, plays a central role. Every
product leaving our production facilities undergoes rigorous testing to ensure
it meets our high standards. This guarantees compliance with legal requirements
and the fulfillment of the individual demands of our customers.
So, the "Higher Level" certification tells you: With Erbacher
Food Intelligence, you are choosing not just products but a partnership based
on trust, innovation, and the highest quality.
