Check
Checks are carried out as a guarantee of the standard. During these checks, it is checked whether the party involved has taken appropriate measures, which ensure that product safety and quality can be ‘guaranteed’. An important part here is the supplier assessment. Merchants, intermediaries, and importers must, therefore, check whether their supplier meets the requirements, so that the delivered products comply with regulations and contractual specifications.
IFS audits are performed annually by a recognized and accredited audit body. NutriBoost B.V. has, in this case, opted for SGS as a control body.
