IFS Requirement on product retention
Started by maddox, Apr 01 2014 07:05 AM
Hi,
i would just like to ask what is IFS' requirement on product retention. Is it product shelf life + 1 year?
Thanks,
:shades:
Scope of Certification product specific
Stainless-steel grades for product-contact equipment
Steel-it epoxy paint for equipment product-contact surfaces
Repackaging of Food Grade product
Is there a minimum PPM of nitrites necessary to deem a product food safe when curing meats?

Hi Maddox,
That reference is applicable to records:
'2.1.2.3 All records shall be kept in accordance with legal requirements and for a minimum of one year after the shelf life'
IFS has references to shelf life but not product retention:
'4.3.3 Shelf life tests or adequate processes shall be carried out.......
4.3.4 When establishing and validating the shelf life...... organoleptic tests shall also be taken into'
Normally I would keep samples of long life products to end of life plus a couple of weeks to allow for any last minute complaints.
Regards,
Tony
