What is FSSC 22000?
FSSC 22000 is an Integrated Food Safety Certification Scheme. It is based on the international standard ISO 22000 and ISO / TS 22002-1: 2009. It is equivalent to BRC and IFS, which means that 7 of the world’s largest supermarkets accept FSSC 22000 certification, and therefore multiple certifications of food safety systems (with additional costs) will no longer be required.
