Where to start

Three ways to buy, depending on what you are missing.

Most people arrive knowing one of these three things about themselves. Pick the one that sounds like you and the rest of this page follows from it.

  1. One subject

    A single risk assessment

    An auditor asked for a documented assessment on one subject, or you know the gap and you only need that gap closed. Four files, done properly, downloaded today.

    Browse the 24 risk assessments
  2. The whole system

    A certification toolkit

    You are building or rebuilding an entire management system for a certification audit. Policies, procedures, work instructions, forms and risk assessments, indexed and cross referenced.

Risk assessments, one subject at a time.

Every pack is four files: the scored register in Excel, the procedure it sits under, a step by step completion guide and a read me. Written against ISO 22000:2018, the ISO 22002 prerequisite standards and the FSSC 22000 additional requirements. 18 of the 22 subject packs also map to a named clause in BRCGS Food Safety, IFS Food and SQF. Open the standards line on any card to see exactly what applies to it. Each pack is explained in full, with the instructional videos, on our FSMS risk assessment templates page.

A whiteboard showing the food safety risk assessment method: hazard identification with pathogen,
        chemical contaminant, physical foreign object and allergen cross contact, then risk analysis on a
        likelihood against severity matrix

The method every pack follows.

  1. Identify the hazard against the subject, with the biological, chemical, physical and allergen prompts already written in.
  2. Score it on the likelihood against severity matrix built into the register, so the number is defensible in front of an auditor.
  3. Evaluate and control against the clause the pack cites, then record the residual risk and the review date.
  4. Prove it with the procedure and the completion guide that ship in the same pack.

A note on ISO 22002. Where a pack cites ISO 22002-100:2025, the part written for the whole food chain, and your scheme names a sector part instead, for example ISO 22002-1:2025 for food manufacturing, the matching sector clauses are listed inside the pack.

What R690 buys

Four files, and the thinking behind them.

A risk assessment an auditor accepts is not a spreadsheet. It is a method you can defend, applied to your own site, with the procedure and the evidence trail behind it. That is what is in the pack.

What a pack is, and what it is not

It is a template and a method. It does not certify your site and it does not guarantee an audit outcome. Your own competent team still has to set the scores against your operation, implement the controls and generate the records. What you save is the writing time.

Every sale is final once the files have been delivered, because you have the documents the moment we send them. That is why every pack carries a free sample preview, and why we would rather answer a question first than take a sale you regret.

  • The risk assessment workbook

    Excel, fully editable. Drop down lists, automatic inherent and residual scoring, colour coded risk bands, a worked example you can adapt and a built in action tracker.

  • The governing procedure

    Word. The SOP the risk assessment sits under, written to the same standard, ready to adopt with your company name and approver.

  • A step by step completion guide

    Word. Purpose and clauses, what to gather first, the scoring method worked through, the register column by column, verification and review, and the findings auditors raise most.

  • A read me first sheet

    What is in the pack, who it is for, what you must edit before you use it, and how to reach us if you get stuck.

Buying several packs?

Ten packs comes to R6,900, which is more than the FSSC 22000 toolkit at R6,350 and more than the ISO 22000 toolkit at R5,900. Once your list passes about nine packs, a full toolkit is usually the better buy. Email us your list and your audit date and we will tell you which way round costs you less, even when that means selling you less.

Before you buy

Straight answers.

How is it delivered?

By secure download after payment. Your files come as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel documents in a single download. If a link does not reach you, email info@ascfoodsafety.com and we will send the files directly.

Can I download it again later?

Yes. Your purchase stays in your account and you can download it again whenever you need it, so a lost laptop or a deleted folder does not cost you the pack.

What do I actually pay, and is VAT added?

R690 if you are in South Africa, USD 34 if you are not. No VAT is added at checkout. The price you see on the card is the price you pay.

Can I get a refund?

No. These are digital documents and the moment we send them you have them, so every sale is final once the files have been delivered. That is why every pack carries a free sample preview showing the real register, a page of the completion guide and a page of the procedure. Look at the sample first, and email us if you are unsure which pack you need. We would rather answer a question than take a sale you regret.

Can I edit the documents?

Yes. Everything is supplied as editable Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files. Nothing is locked and nothing is a PDF you cannot change. You add your company name, your approver and your site detail.

Is this a subscription?

No. Every purchase here is a once off payment for the version you buy. There is no renewal fee. The only subscription we sell is ASCloud, our paperless system, and that is priced separately and clearly.

Will buying documents make my site compliant?

No, and we will not tell you otherwise. A pack is a template and a method. It does not certify your site and it does not guarantee an audit outcome. You still have to set the scores against your own operation, implement the controls, generate the records and show an auditor that the system works. What you save is the writing time.

Do the risk assessments work for BRCGS, IFS or SQF, or only FSSC 22000?

They work for all of them. Every pack is written against ISO 22000:2018, the ISO 22002 prerequisite standards and the FSSC 22000 additional requirements. Of the 22 subject packs, 18 also map to a named clause in BRCGS Food Safety, IFS Food and SQF, and those carry the BRCGS, IFS and SQF badge. Rework is a cross scheme subject with no clause of its own, so we state that in words. Context of the organisation, interested parties and strategic risks are ISO structures that BRCGS, IFS and SQF do not carry at all, so we do not badge them. Open the standards and clauses line on any card to see exactly what applies.

Should I buy a single risk assessment or a full toolkit?

Buy a single risk assessment when you have a specific gap, for example an auditor asked for a documented assessment on one subject. Buy a toolkit when you are building or rebuilding the whole management system for a certification. Ten packs comes to R6,900, which is more than the FSSC 22000 toolkit at R6,350 and more than an ISO 22000 toolkit at R5,900, so once your list passes about nine packs the toolkit is usually the better buy and we will say so.

Can I see one before I buy?

Yes. The 22 subject packs each carry a sample preview showing the real register, a page of the completion guide and a page of the procedure. The two packs sold with an instructional video, the PRP verification plan and food defence, have their own product page with the full detail.

What if the standard I need is not listed yet?

Email info@ascfoodsafety.com with the standard you need and we will contact you the day it is released. If your audit date is sooner than that, say so and we will tell you what we can do about it.

I would rather not manage documents at all.

Then look at ASCloud. It is our paperless compliance system, and it replaces the files with digital checklists, records and dashboards. Entry level pricing starts at R499 a month. Set up and configuration are quoted separately, and new subscriptions carry a 60 day money back guarantee.

I need help implementing it.

Every toolkit includes one hour of premium consultation. Beyond that we consult, audit and train.
