Benefits for your company

Avoid very costly product recalls

A food recall can exceed €10 million in direct costs such as logistics, destruction, and crisis management. In 23% of cases, these costs can exceed €30 million.

Reduce errors and downtime after certifications

After achieving ISO22000 certification, plants have seen reductions of 44–54% in non-compliance incidents and 14–19% in operational downtime.

Improves regulatory preparedness and compliance (export, FSMS)

In studies, compliance with regulations increased from 50% to 97% after food safety certifications

Increases the adoption of food safety management systems and culture

The implementation of FSMS systems increased adoption from 34% to 60%, boosting a food safety culture and leadership to over 80%.

Increases the success rate in audits

Companies that have specialized consulting services from implementation to certification audit achieve approval rates close to 100% in GFSI standards (IFS, BRCGS, FSSC 22000) compared to significantly lower percentages when they manage it internally.

Frequently Asked Questions

These standards are recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and apply to companies in the food sector as well as packaging manufacturers.
  • IFS (International Featured Standards) Widely implemented in continental Europe and required by large retail chains. Audits with a strong emphasis on legal compliance, traceability, and operational control, evaluating in detail the execution of processes and supporting documentation.
  • BRCGS (Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards) Widely used in the United Kingdom and international markets, also focused on large retail chains. Audits with a similar approach to IFS, as well as brand protection risk management. FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification) Based on ISO 22000, designed for intermediate suppliers and companies that integrate several ISO systems. Audits are less focused on distribution and more on the overall management of the system, with flexible documentation, but high requirements for the technical justification of controls and compliance with prerequisite programs.
It depends on the size of the company, the complexity of the processes, and the initial level of compliance. In an SME with defined processes, implementation can take between 4 and 8 weeks. In more complex industries or those with multiple production lines, the timeframe can extend to 3–6 months. At QBox, we work with a tailored action plan to meet deadlines without compromising technical rigor.
Yes. It is possible to integrate several standards into a single management system (for example, IFS Food along with ISO 14001 or BRCGS Packaging). This optimizes resources, avoids duplication of processes, and allows for a complete audit in a single certification visit. At QBox, we design integrated systems to make maintenance and audits more efficient.
It depends on the product, the destination country, and the target market:
  • Compliance with EU and/or importing country legislation.
  • Health registration or equivalent.
  • Compliance with country-specific regulations.
    • At QBox, we guide you through the entire process to ensure your product meets the technical, documentary, and labeling requirements before exporting.
