FSSC 22000 is a GFSI-recognised food safety management system certification scheme built around ISO 22000
FSSC 22000 combines ISO 22000:2018, sector-specific prerequisite programme requirements and additional FSSC scheme requirements. It is used by food manufacturers, packaging manufacturers and other food chain organisations to demonstrate structured control of food safety hazards and management system performance.
ISO 22000 foundation
The scheme is built on ISO 22000:2018, which provides the management system structure for food safety policy, objectives, risk-based thinking, HACCP integration, communication, validation, verification and continual improvement.
Sector-specific PRPs
FSSC 22000 uses relevant prerequisite programme standards such as ISO/TS 22002-1 for food manufacturing and ISO/TS 22002-4 for food packaging manufacturing.
Additional requirements
