What is FSSC 22000 Certification
FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification) is a complete food safety management scheme approved by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), integrating ISO 22000, ISO 9001 elements, and industry-specific technical specifications. It provides a robust framework for managing food safety hazards with additional requirements for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), traceability, and fraud mitigation. This certification is recognized by major retailers and food manufacturers worldwide as the benchmark for supplier approval.
The scheme covers the entire food chain including primary production, manufacturing, transportation, and food service operations with tailored requirements for each sector. Organizations certified under FSSC 22000 demonstrate the highest level of food safety commitment, meeting stringent international standards that satisfy customer demands, regulatory requirements, and consumer expectations while ensuring complete supply chain integrity.
