IFS Broker certification
Frucor is IFS Broker certified: the GFSI-recognised international standard that audits how a food broker or trader selects, approves and monitors its suppliers.
What is IFS Broker?
It is the international standard used to audit food brokers, agents and importers, and it is recognised by GFSI. It certifies that Frucor selects and monitors its suppliers so that every product meets regulations and the customer's specifications, with traceability throughout the operation.
The IFS Broker standard on the official IFS websiteWhat the audit covers
- Supplier selection and assessment: every supplier is approved and reassessed regularly.
- Specifications: products must meet the destination regulations and the specification agreed with the customer.
- Traceability: every lot can be traced from the supplier to the customer.
- Complaints, incidents and recalls: defined procedures to respond quickly.
- Food fraud: vulnerability assessment to prevent adulteration or substitution.
What it means for your business
- Lower risk when buying through an intermediary: supplier control is audited by an independent third party.
- One counterpart with full documentation: specifications, certificates and traceability for every shipment.
- Easier approval in your quality system: IFS Broker is GFSI-recognised, like IFS Food, BRCGS, FSSC 22000 and SQF.

Who audits Frucor?
An independent, accredited certification body with IFS-qualified auditors.
Is IFS Broker recognised by GFSI?
