Food safety affects everyone. Consumers demand and deserve safe, hygienically-produced food. For agribusinesses—from farmers and meat producers to bakers and bottlers—food safety must be a top priority. Poor standards jeopardize consumers’ health and can also cost businesses their reputations. For more than 15 years, IFC has offered high-quality professional services to help companies apply international food safety standards and adapt sustainable business models. IFC’s support includes food safety assessments, staff training, and guidance attaining international certification. Improved food safety has helped our clients meet regional and export market requirements, attract over $607 million of investments, generate over $726 million in increased sales, realize cost savings, and strengthen their brands. The twin goals of IFC’s Food Safety Program are healthier balance sheets and high-quality food on plates.
