IFS Food Version 7

Hi all,

Do you have any news for the new IFS Food Issue 7?

Hi Koko, from what I can see it was due to be published early 2018.

Funny that it's a year late and no mention anywhere on the IFS website of a delay or update on a new date. :dunno:

Kind Regards,
Simon

 Check out this link for info on the new version -

https://dqs-cfs.com/...ion-to-issue-7/   (copy and paste the link)

After its release in the first quarter of 2020, organizations will have nine months to implement the new/or modified requirements. The expected changes are:

• The new version shall ensure that all requirements are appropriate for the current state of the industry.

• IFS Food 7 shall place more emphasis on product/process related audit methodology to allocate more time in production, adapting the evaluation by restricting documentation review to the essentials only.

• The focus is on the importance of food safety and quality through simpler and more descriptive phrasing.

In short, the main objective is that IFS Auditors should spend more time in the production area than before

Just an Update: Draft of V7.0 was sent out today.
