IFS Wholesale and Cash & Carry is a standard for assessing the safety and quality of products and processes of wholesalers, cash & carry businesses and other packaging companies.
The most recent standard of IFS Wholesale Cash & Carry is version 3, which was published in November 2024, and is mandatory for all certified companies starting in November 2025.
Version 3 of the IFS Wholesale Cash & Carry includes a streamlined audit procedure, with the previous four modules condensed into two, alongside an updated scoring procedure for the auditing technique.
You can request an IFS pre-audit, where an auditor will come to your site to review your food safety and quality systems, products and production processes in order to see if they align with IFS requirements. The auditor will deliver an action plan based on their findings in order to assist you with gaining certification.
Achieving IFS Wholesale Cash & Carry certification can bring about a multitude of benefits for a company, such as improved global brand awareness, improved efficiency of operations, reduced operational costs and a vastly enhanced business credibility.
IFS Wholesale Cash & Carry certification lasts for one year before expiration – This will need to be re-audited to achieve recertification.
