FSSC 22000 Food Safety System Certification covers the key requirements of many existing food safety standards and programs including: GMP, HACCP, SQF, BRC, IFS and GlobalGAP. FSSC 22000 is the most comprehensive food safety management system certification scheme because it fully incorporates ISO 22000, sector specific prerequisite programs (PRPs) such as ISO/TS 22002-1 and ISO/TS 22002
, HACCP and the application steps of CODEX Alimentarius.
The FSSC 22000 scheme is recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). This allows your organization to use FSSC 22000 to meet the requirements of several global retailers or major branded food companies under a single, internationally recognized food safety management system.
FSSC 22000 can be applied to organizations of any size or complexity in food manufacturing. It does not matter whether they are for profit or not, nor whether they are public or private companies. This includes manufacturers of:
- Perishable animal products
- Perishable vegetables
- Products with a long shelf life at ambient temperature
