Hello,
Do you have any table in which we compare the latest version of BRC and IFS Food?
I need to work for both of them and i have no ideas about the main differences

They are very similar. But BRC is more user friendly because it has a lot of guidance information, and tips.

Hi fouziak,
The IFS Food Standard V8 has requirements for the corporate policy to include customer focus and sustainability which BRC does not. Also note 4.1 Customer focus and contract agreement
Customer focus elements were dropped from BRCGS. The BRCGS Standard Food Safety Issue 9 is far more prescriptive. Major differences include:
1.1.2 The site’s senior management shall define and maintain a clear plan for the development and continuing improvement of a food safety and quality culture. The plan shall include measures needed to achieve a positive culture change.
4.10.3 Metal detectors and X-ray equipment
Metal detection equipment shall be in place unless risk assessment demonstrates that this does not improve food safety. Where metal detectors are not used, justification shall be documented. The absence of metal detection would only normally be based on the use of an alternative, more effective method of protection (e.g. use of X-ray, fine sieves or filtration of products).
More extensive/stringent equipment requirements in section 4.6 Equipment
There are also more extensive requirements for high risk/high care and traded products:
8 Production risk zones – high risk, high care and ambient high care
9 Requirements for traded products
Kind regards,
Tony
