What is it?

FSSC 22000 is an international standard developed for the certification of food safety management systems for food manufacturers. The FSSC 22000 framework is fully recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GSFI), the benchmarking body for the harmonization of international food safety standards, along with other food safety management schemes like the BRC, IFS and SQF schemes. The strong influence of ISO 22000 in the standard makes it align with other generic management systems such as the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 to enable effective system integration.

Benefits of implementation
  • Customer satisfaction through delivery of products that consistently meet customer requirements including quality, safety and legality
  • Reduced operating costs through continual improvement of processes and resulting operational efficiencies
  • Improved risk management through greater consistency and traceability of product
  • Ability to win more business, particularly where procurement specifications require certification as a condition to supply
Why seek FSSC 22000 certification?

FSSC 22000 certification controls/reduces food safety hazards and promotes continuous improvement in food safety aspects, fosters legal compliance, increases transparency throughout the food supply chain, and allows small and/or less developed organizations to implement an externally developed system. In addition, FSSC 22000 incorporates many of the principles of other GFSI-approved food safety standards and combines them into a single approach.
