Hi all, we are new to the GFSI game and trying to decide whether do IFS or SQF. Background info: we are a small business manufacturing dried herbs and teas. After some consultation, we were convinced that SQF was the way to go as it is a widely recognized program in North America (Canada). Now that we are in knee deep of putting documents together, we are finding some of the required programs (food processing) do not make sense to our operation. I feel that it is fine and dandy for medium to large business with a lot of volume but not for us. So after looking around, I found IFS which makes me think may be we should look at BRC or IFS as they seem to be a tad simpler and not so document and/or procedure heavy. We have a GFSI consultant that only does SQF -- When asked about this his input is a little biased towards SQF. So I need a different input: 1. If we go IFS, is it widely recognized in North America. 2. Anyone in North America that is BRC? How has that been going?? Thank you for looking...
