FSSC 22000

FSSC 22000 is a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmarked food safety standard. FSSC 22000 is based on the widely recognized Food Management System Standard ISO 22000, the industry relevant Pre-Requisite Program (PRP) and FSSC defined additional requirements. We offer a range of FSSC 22000 services – including auditing and certification – to help you meet the initiative’s requirements and related food safety certification standards.
