June 16, 2026

FoodChain ID has received accreditation from Comité Français d'Accréditation (COFRAC) to conduct inspection services in France. The accreditation was granted in accordance with the NF EN ISO/IEC 17020:2012 standard, which establishes internationally recognized requirements for the competence, impartiality, and consistency of inspection bodies.

The accreditation scope includes inspections within the food sector, specifically inspections of food retail operations under the Food Store Quality Standard (FSQS) Version 3 program. These inspections assess food safety and quality practices at retail locations, supporting compliance with industry requirements and consumer expectations.

COFRAC is the sole national accreditation body in France and is responsible for evaluating the competence and impartiality of conformity assessment organizations. Accreditation provides independent recognition that organizations operate according to rigorous international standards.
