ISO 22000 FSSC Certification - Food Certification

Business Challenge

What is ISO 22000 FSSC?

Many standards have been developed within food safety, including company-specific standards, legal regulations and standards developed by retailers. Their proliferation have made their application difficult. At the same time, food safety principles have spread across the world. The safety of food stuffs has become a major issue for all players within the food chain. For this reason, a single standard with worldwide reach including the food safety principles has become necessary.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

• What does IS0 22000 FSSC cover?

  - Interactive Communication. This Standard requires the organisation to proactively communicate with key stakeholders in order to understand their needs and demands, informing them of any variances.

  - System Management. The Standard builds on ISO 9001:2000 to enhance the implementation of effective food safety systems.

  - Hazard Control. An effective system that can control food safety hazards to acceptable levels in end products (or delivered to the next step in the food chain).

• Already certified ISO 9001, should I replace it with ISO 22000 FSSC?

  No. ISO 22000 FSSC should be seen as a necessary complement to ISO 9001, not as a stand-alone benchmark. When combined, the resulting system could deliver excellence in food manufacture and supply.

• Do you offer combined ISO 9001 with ISO 22000 FSSC?

  Yes, we can offer a combined certification.
