What is FSSC 22000

The FSSC 22000 scheme is managed by Foundation FSSC and governed by an independent Board of Stakeholders, consisting of representatives from sectors across the food industry.

To ensure transparency and involvement of the industry, an Advisory Committee makes recommendations regarding several topics, including technical aspects like unannounced audits & food fraud, guidance documents, and scheme revisions. The Advisory Committee reports to the Board of Stakeholders.

FSSC 22000 has been delivering impact on global food safety for over 12 years. The scheme provides a certification model that can be used in the whole food supply chain to ensure food safety standards and processes. FSSC 22000 is GFSI recognized and follows the food chain category description as defined in ISO/TS 22003.

Scheme documents

The scheme documents contain the requirements for organizations to gain FSSC 22000 certification. Even before applying for certification, businesses can use these free documents to assess, develop, implement, and improve their food and feed safety management systems.

Auditing and certification

FSSC accredited Certification Bodies use the scheme documents to assess and audit the applicant organization's continuous compliance with the requirements of the FSSC 22000 scheme. This way-of-working assures the performance of the food and feed safety management system within certified organizations.
