The full FSSC 22000 requirement set loaded before your first login: ISO 22000, the sector prerequisite programmes, and every FSSC additional requirement, each one a task your team can see, do and sign.
ASCloud is FSSC 22000 Version 7 software built in South Africa: ISO 22000:2018, the sector prerequisite programmes and every FSSC additional requirement loaded before first login, each as a task your team sees, does and signs. It costs R3,800 per site per month excluding VAT, with setup from R5,000 and scheme updates included, as at September 2026.

Audit pack by clause, exported in one step.
Published May 2026. The update is included for subscribers.
V7 upgrade audits run from 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2028.
Your deadline is your next audit date, which may fall early in the window.
What "encoded" means here
FSSC 22000 is ISO 22000 plus sector prerequisite programmes plus FSSC's additional requirements. In the system, each clause is mapped to a record, a checklist or a schedule. Nothing rests on somebody remembering. When a requirement changes, we update the system and you see the change, with its version number, in your update log.
FSSC 22000 Version 7 was published in May 2026. V6 audits end on 30 April 2027 and V7 upgrade audits run from 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2028. The V7 requirement set ships as an included update for subscribers, with a V6-to-V7 gap view.
Your V7 countdown
Pick your next audit month and see when your V7 work must start:
The Version 7 transition, on your calendar
Version 7 upgrade audits run from 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2028, at your next scheduled audit in the cycle. Version 6 certificates are withdrawn after 30 June 2028. Work backwards from your audit date: three months of live V7 records, before that the internal audit, before that the gap assessment and training. If your audit lands early in the window, your V7 work starts this year. Your ASC consultant walks the gap with you.

The additional requirements are where audits are lost
Environmental monitoring, food defence, food fraud, allergen management and food safety culture: the system schedules them, records them and trends them, so the FSSC-specific layer is evidenced in live records.
Four sector packages, each built for how your site actually operates
The FSSC additional requirements differ by category, and so do our toolkits. Every package below ships with the documents that category's auditor will actually ask for.
Food Manufacturing
HACCP plan templates with CCP and OPRP monitoring built into the platform, food defence and food fraud vulnerability assessments, environmental monitoring programme, internal audit checklists and fully digitised corrective action records.
Ideal for food and beverage manufacturers, ambient, chilled and frozen processors, and ingredient and ready-meal producers.
Packaging
Packaging material safety and migration control procedures, hygienic design and production zoning documentation, prerequisite programmes for packaging facilities, and supplier and raw material approval workflows.
Ideal for packaging manufacturers, material converters, and printing and labelling facilities supplying food brands.
Storage & Distribution
Cold chain and temperature monitoring procedures, warehouse hygiene with pest control programme integration, goods-in and goods-out traceability documentation, and vehicle and storage area inspection checklists.
Ideal for cold storage and warehousing operators, third-party logistics providers, and distribution centres handling food.
Catering & Food Service
High-volume food preparation and production procedures, service and holding temperature monitoring, menu and allergen management documentation, and multi-site consistency checklists for central kitchens.
Ideal for central kitchens and commissaries, contract catering companies, and multi-site food service operators.
The FSSC toolkit spans 260+ documents and 800+ pages as at August 2026, including guidance on environmental monitoring, food defence, food fraud, food safety culture and transport tank cleaning.

Questions we get asked
Is ASCloud updated for FSSC 22000 Version 7?
Yes. Version 7 was published in May 2026. The V7 requirement set ships to subscribers as an included update with a gap view, and V6 stays available for sites still in their V6 cycle until 30 April 2027.
What does FSSC 22000 software cost on ASCloud?
The Certification plan is from R3,800 per site per month excluding VAT, with setup from R5,000 covering five working days of configuration. Scheme updates are included.
Does it cover the FSSC additional requirements?
Yes. Food safety culture, food loss and waste, environmental monitoring, food defence, food fraud, allergen management and the other additional requirements are loaded as live checks, and the automated tools for culture, environmental monitoring, food defence and food fraud can be added.
Can we run BRCGS beside FSSC 22000?
Yes. The additional GFSI standard module at R2,400 a month loads a second scheme on the same records, so one internal audit serves both.
