FSSC 22000 stands for Food Safety System Certification 22000. This standard integrates ISO 22000 (Food Safety Management Systems requirements) with sector-specific Pre-Requisite Programs (PRPs) and additional requirements from the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). It's a robust, ISO-based, internationally accepted certification scheme for auditing and certification of food safety in the whole supply chain. The goal of FSSC 22000 is to ensure safety of the food products throughout the manufacturing, processing, packaging, and storage phases by establishing food safety management systems that can be audited and certified.
FSSC 22000 is a comprehensive and robust framework designed to ensure the safety of food products across the entire supply chain. Certification under this standard can significantly enhance an organisation's credibility and demonstrate its commitment to food safety, thereby providing a competitive edge in the market. Compliance involves a systemic approach to managing food safety risks and requires continuous improvement, making it vital for businesses involved in the food sector to adhere to and maintain these standards consistently.
