A reliable resource
IOFI works hard to be a reliable resource in support of flavoring safety evaluations worldwide. IOFI provides well-conducted, thorough scientific studies to regulatory bodies globally.
Dr. Sean Taylor, IOFI Scientific Director
Global Reference List
The IOFI Global Reference List (GRL) is a compendium of flavoring materials that are considered to be safe for their intended use by one or more internationally recognized assessment bodies. The GRL follows the definitions of materials appropriate for the formulation of flavorings in the IOFI Code of Practice.
The IOFI Code of Practice is a comprehensive document that demonstrates the commitment of IOFI and its members to produce flavor ingredients that are safe for their intended use. The Code of Practice is acknowledged by all member associations and their member companies. Available to all stakeholders, the Code of Practice includes guidelines for the manufacture, handling and use of materials for flavor applications.
The IOFI Scope 3 Emission Factors Repository provides harmonized reference emission factors for commonly used flavoring ingredients. Developed as a sector-wide resource, it helps companies improve data quality, collaborate more effectively, and strengthen accountability across the value chain.
