FSSC 22000 is a food safety certification scheme based on the existing internationally recognized standard ISO 22000 and complemented by technical standards, such as ISO TS 22002-1 for food manufacturing and ISO TS 22002-4 for packaging manufacturing. It is also fully consistent with other standards, such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 (including the alignment with ISO High Level Structure).
In addition to ISO 22000 and the industry relevant Pre-Requisite Program (PRP), FSSC 22000 contains requirements that help companies address risk in multiple areas from food fraud, food defense, food safety and quality culture, quality control, allergen management and environmental monitoring programs. The latest version has also added requirements on food loss and waste to help companies deliver on their UN SDG commitments.
FSSC 22000 provides a certification scheme that ensures a robust food safety management system to control food safety hazards, minimize risks, and ensure safe food production. Reliability in delivering safe food contributes to consumer trust and, eventually, consumer loyalty. The standard enables your organization to:
FSSC 22000 for Food Safety Management Systems provides a framework for effectively managing food safety and quality responsibilities. FSSC 22000 demonstrates that a robust and effective food safety management system (FSMS) is in place to meet the requirements of regulators, food business customers and consumers.
The FSSC 22000 Scheme is recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and supported by the European Food and Drink Association (CIAA) and the American Groceries Manufacturing Association (GMA).
Other GFSI programs like IFS, BRC & SQF are product certification standards but FSSC 22000 is a management system certification scheme, which means a significant difference in the audit approach – essentially FSSC 22000 provides the framework for organisations to implement processes how they wish to meet the requirements.
