Overview

What is ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000?

ISO 22000 is the international standard for food safety management systems (FSMS). It combines interactive communication, system management, prerequisite programs, and HACCP principles to control food safety hazards across the supply chain.

FSSC 22000 builds on ISO 22000 with additional requirements and is recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) — which is what many major retailers and brand owners require from their suppliers. HACCP remains the hazard-analysis backbone underneath both.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000?

ISO 22000 is the base food safety management standard. FSSC 22000 adds requirements on top and is GFSI-recognized, which is what many large retailers and brand owners require from suppliers.

Do I still need HACCP?

Yes — HACCP hazard analysis is the foundation of both ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000. We build the HACCP plan and the surrounding management system together.

Which scheme should we certify to?

It usually depends on what your customers require. If a major retailer or brand owner is asking for a GFSI-recognized certificate, FSSC 22000 is often the right target. We help you confirm and plan the route.

Can you help with allergen and sanitation programs?

Yes. Strong prerequisite programs — GMPs, sanitation, and allergen control — are where audits often find problems, so we make sure they are solid before the certification audit.
