Read moreFSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification) is the Global Food Safety Standard for food manufacturing, created by the Foundation for Food Safety Certification. It is a certification model scheme that applies to companies that are part of the food industry. This scheme ensures the control of latent food safety risks.
It was created to provide certification to food manufacturers and is supported by the Confederation of the Food and Drink Industries of the European Union (CIAA).
It is based on the ISO Food Safety standard and is widely recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), which supports the model and its application around the world.
The reference framework requested by FSSC 22000 includes: ISO 22000, prerequisite programs, good practice monitoring, Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles, without leaving aside the specific FSSC requirements.

The difference with ISO 22000 is that it is applicable to all the agents involved in the food chain; FSSC 22000 was created especially for food or packaging producers.
The certification process of your company starts when you decide to implement an effective food safety plan and your Management System, to lead you on the road to FSSC 22000 certification. At QAlliance we take care of helping you every step of the way to successfully achieve your certification.

Companies involved in food processing and packaging, as well as companies that distribute and market food. Each link in the food supply chain can apply the FSSC model for certification.
When a company is already ISO 22000 certified, it is only necessary to review the specifications of the prerequisite programs and the technical requirements of FSSC in order to make the transition to FSSC 22000.
