FSSC 22000 — a GFSI-recognised scheme

Food Safety System Certification built on ISO 22000, sector prerequisite programmes and additional requirements.

Overview

ISO 22000, extended and GFSI-recognised

FSSC 22000 is a GFSI-recognised food safety certification scheme built on the foundation of ISO 22000. It adds sector-specific prerequisite programmes (the ISO/TS 22002 series) and a set of additional FSSC requirements to create a complete, benchmarked certification.

Because it is anchored in ISO 22000, FSSC 22000 is a natural step for organisations that already run an ISO 22000-based FSMS but need GFSI recognition to satisfy retailer and buyer requirements — covering manufacturing, packaging, storage and more.
