The purpose of FSSC 22000 is to strengthen consumer and supply chain confidence by bringing the food safety management system into an internationally recognized, robust, and auditable framework.

• International validity recognized by GFSI
• Meeting the supplier requirements of major retailers and brands
• An integrated approach to food safety management
• Strengthened exports and market access
• Increased consumer and customer confidence

FSSC 22000 covers ISO 22000 requirements, sector-specific prerequisite programs (ISO/TS 22002 series), and scheme-specific additional requirements. In this way, it addresses the management system, technical prerequisites, and additional requirements together.

Organizations pursue FSSC 22000 to gain international recognition, meet GFSI-based supplier requirements, and strengthen food safety management.

Organizations that produce food and food packaging, process food, or operate within the supply chain and fall within the scheme’s covered categories can apply for FSSC 22000 certification.

Certification generally consists of the following steps: a gap analysis comparing the current state with standard requirements, preparation of the necessary documents and processes, system implementation, internal audit and management review, followed by an audit by an independent certification body. As T Valense, we provide technical support during the preparation, gap analysis, and assessment stages of this process; the certification audit and certification decision belong to independent certification bodies.

FSSC 22000 certification is obtained from independent certification bodies operating in this field. T Valense prepares your organization for this process, assesses the current state, and objectively reports areas open to improvement. The certification decision is made by the independent body that conducts the audit.
