FSSC 22000 Version 7 upgrade audits start on 1 May 2027. This free handbook is fifteen pages written for the person who has to get a South African site ready: the QA manager, the food safety team leader, or the owner of a smaller business doing it alone.
It sets out the dates and what they mean for your certificate, how to work out which of your audits is the upgrade audit, the new ISO 22002-100:2025 prerequisite programme standards by category, every FSSC additional requirement with new wording and what an auditor will want to see for it, the new sub(sub)categories and audit time rules, a printable gap checklist, a month by month plan, and the questions to put to your certification body. Everything was checked against the Foundation’s own Version 7 documents.
Fill in your details below. The download link opens on this page as soon as the form is sent, and a copy of your details reaches our team so we can follow up if you want help. In the box about your needs, tell us your food chain category and when your next audit is, if you know.
We use your details to send the handbook and to reply about your enquiry, as our privacy policy explains under POPIA. We will not sell or share them, and you can ask us to delete them at any time by emailing info@ascfoodsafety.com.
