Food Safety System Certification

The FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification) standard is a food safety standard approved by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), the most influential food manufacturers, to introduce a food safety certification system suitable for the overall food industry.

It applies to all food manufacturers, regardless of the size, complexity or location of the organization. In addition, storage at transport and production sites are included in the scope of certification.
