What is FSSC 22000?

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

FSSC Version 7 includes scheme-specific requirements that businesses need to understand, implement and maintain as part of certification readiness and audit performance.

South African relevance: FSSC 22000 training is valuable for food manufacturing, packaging manufacturing, supplier approval, export markets, private-label supply, retail supply chains, customer audits and certification programmes across South Africa.
Scheme structure

Effective FSSC 22000 Version 7 training must connect the standard, PRPs, scheme rules and implementation practice

A strong FSSC 22000 training pathway helps learners understand what the scheme requires, how it applies to their food chain category and how requirements translate into practical food safety management system controls.
