FAQ
It combines ISO 22000, sector-specific PRPs and FSSC scheme requirements into one food safety management system certification.
FSSC 22000 is designed for food manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, packaging manufacturers, storage, distribution and other eligible food chain categories. It is one of several recognized food safety certification programs used throughout the global food industry.
Certification follows a three-year cycle with annual surveillance audits and recertification. One surveillance audit in each cycle is unannounced. Organizations that also supply retailers may coordinate certification activities alongside retail audits to improve efficiency.
FSSC 22000 Certification builds on ISO 22000 by adding sector PRPs and scheme requirements expected in GFSI-benchmarked certification. Other GFSI-recognized schemes include BRCGS certification and IFS certification.
We support scoping, audit planning and certification delivery so teams can reduce variability, strengthen readiness and maintain a more defensible system. Many organizations also evaluate complementary certification programs such as SQF depending on customer and market requirements.
To get certified, an organization must implement a food safety management system based on ISO 22000, apply sector-specific prerequisite programs (PRPs) and meet additional scheme requirements. The process includes internal preparation, a certification audit, and ongoing surveillance to maintain compliance. Contact expert support from FoodChain ID to guide each step.
