What is FSSC 22000?
FSSC 22000 has been delivering impact on global food safety for 15 years. The Scheme provides a certification model that can be used in the food manufacturing industry and the related supply chain to ensure food safety standards and processes. FSSC 22000 is GFSI-recognized and follows the food chain category description as defined in ISO 22003-1:2022.
The FSSC 22000 Food Safety Management System (FSMS) Certification Scheme incorporates the requirements of the international standard ISO 22000, the technical specifications for sector-specific Pre-Requisite Programs (PRPs), and FSSC 22000 Scheme Requirements (including Part 2 Additional Requirements, BoS Decision List and Scheme Interpretation Articles). To become FSSC 22000 certified, it is thus mandatory for organizations to meet the requirements of each of the three elements that make up FSSC 22000.
