FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification) is a globally recognized certification scheme designed to ensure food safety and quality across the entire food supply chain. Built upon the foundation of ISO 22000 and incorporating additional sector-specific requirements, FSSC 22000 offers a robust and comprehensive framework for managing food safety risks. It is approved by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), making it widely accepted by international retailers, manufacturers, and food service organizations.

Implementing FSSC 22000 allows organizations to establish a strong food safety management system that not only meets international standards but also addresses specific prerequisites tailored to various food sectors. The standard promotes a proactive approach to identifying hazards, implementing preventive controls, and ensuring traceability throughout the production and distribution process. This leads to improved food safety performance, enhanced compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and stronger customer confidence.

Achieving FSSC 22000 certification demonstrates an organization’s commitment to delivering safe and high-quality food products, enhancing its credibility and competitive position in global markets. It supports continuous improvement and fosters a culture of responsibility, transparency, and excellence. At ExpertISO, we guide organizations through each step of the FSSC 22000 certification process—helping you build a food safety management system that meets rigorous standards and aligns with both business goals and consumer expectations.
