As FSSC 22000 published the Version 6 of their food safety system certification scheme on 1 April 2023, it is now important for certified companies to understand the changes and get prepared for future audits.
SGS Pakistan conducted the first FSSC 22000 V6 awareness course for English Biscuit Manufacturers (Pvt.) Limited (EBM) in early May.
English Biscuit Manufacturers (Pvt.) Limited (EBM) is leading the biscuit industry in Pakistan. Previously named Peek Freans Pakistan Limited, the company has an annual production capacity of over 180,000 tonnes. With over 16 brands, EBM has been dedicated to innovation and quality standards since inception.
EMB has been certified for FSSC 22000 since 2018. To renew their certification, they need to realize what has been revised in the certification scheme. Therefore, they applied to SGS Academy for an awareness course.
FSSC 22000 Version 6 has integrated ISO 22003-1:2022 requirements, better aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as incorporates some other significant updates.
We are happy to help food market players to stay up-to-date with new industry regulations. Congratulations to EBM team for being vigilant and proactive.
