Overview
FSSC 22000 version 6 is a complete, GFSI-recognised food safety management system certification scheme built on the internationally accepted ISO 22000 standard, combined with sector-specific prerequisite programme requirements and a set of additional FSSC requirements. It applies across the food supply chain, including food and feed manufacturing, food packaging production, catering, retail and transport and storage, with scope defined by relevant food chain categories. The scheme integrates three core components: the ISO 22000 requirements for a food safety management system, the applicable technical specifications for prerequisite programmes such as the ISO/TS 22002 series or equivalent, and the FSSC additional requirements that address matters including management of services, product labelling, food defence, food fraud mitigation, allergen and environmental monitoring, and transport. ISO 22000 contributes the High-Level Structure, the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, risk-based thinking applied at both organisational and operational levels, and the combination of prerequisite programmes with HACCP principles. Version 6 strengthens alignment with the updated ISO 22000, incorporates enhanced requirements around food safety culture, quality, equipment management and environmental sustainability considerations, and reflects GFSI benchmarking expectations. Certification is performed by accredited certification bodies through a two-stage initial audit followed by annual surveillance and periodic recertification, with a three-year certification cycle and provisions for unannounced audits. The main benefits include full GFSI recognition that satisfies retailer and manufacturer requirements, an ISO-based structure that integrates readily with other management systems such as ISO 9001, reduced duplication of customer audits, improved and demonstrable control of food safety hazards, and a robust framework for continual improvement. FSSC 22000 is widely adopted internationally, offering organisations a flexible yet rigorous route to recognised food safety certification across diverse categories of the food and packaging supply chain.
