Why FSSC 22000?
FSSC 22000 certification offers companies active in the international food supply chain many advantages.
FSSC 22000 food safety management system
Retailers and food manufacturers demand affordable, safe and good quality food products that their customers want to purchase. Companies that are part of the food supply chain must therefore meet high requirements. Kiwa offers FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification 22000) to help these companies to concentrate on the essential: deliver high-quality, safe products. FSSC 22000 offers a complete certification scheme for the auditing and certification of food safety management systems (FSMS).
FSSC 22000 was designed to meet the needs of an international, GFSI recognised food safety scheme based on the ISO system. The standard describes requirements in the field of food safety and is based on ISO 22000, with the addition of a sector-specific Pre-Requisite Program (PRP), and some additional standards including for Food Fraud and Food Defense (bioterrorism).
For which sectors?
FSSC 22000 supports the whole food supply chain, with sectors such as retail and wholesale, transport and storage and food packaging and manufacturing.
