Industry-specific answers to common food safety certification questions
FSSC 22000 is GFSI-benchmarked and often preferred by retailers and major buyers. ISO 22000 is suitable where GFSI acceptance is not mandated, such as local markets or B2B supply. For export markets and major retail chains, FSSC 22000 is typically required.
Yes. Sector-specific PRPs are mandatory for a robust FSMS and required for FSSC 22000 certification. We implement PRPs per 22002-1 (manufacturing), 22002-4 (packaging), 22002-6 (transport/storage) based on your operations.
Standards require effective traceability; buyer programs often set specific targets, commonly ≤4 hours for complete trace-forward and trace-back. We design your traceability system to meet your buyers' specific targets.
Yes. ISO 22000 + 9001 + 14001 + 45001 all follow Annex SL structure and integrate efficiently as an Integrated Management System (IMS). This reduces documentation burden and audit time while improving overall effectiveness.
FSSC follows a three-year certification cycle with annual surveillance audits. Importantly, FSSC requires at least one unannounced audit during each three-year cycle, which we help you prepare for through readiness assessments.
Use ISO/IEC 17025 for laboratory competence demonstration. We can scope critical tests for in-house capability and establish external laboratory assurance programs for outsourced testing requirements.
