With Intertek as your certification partner, your business can demonstrate its commitment to food safety, regulatory compliance, and customer trust, while opening doors to new global markets.
What is FSSC 22000?
FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification) is an internationally recognized scheme based on ISO 22000 and sector-specific prerequisite programs (PRPs), providing a comprehensive framework for effectively managing food safety responsibilities across the supply chain.
Accredited by GFSI, FSSC 22000 certification proves that your organization has a robust food safety management system in place, ensuring the highest standards of quality, hygiene, and compliance.
Benefits of FSSC 22000 Certification

How is FSSC 22000 different to ISO 22000?
ISO 22000 is a Food Safety Management System standard that covers the HACCP principles according to the Codex Alimentarius., but FSSC 22000 has two main additional benefits compared to the ISO 22000 standard:
1) The GFSI has recognized the FSSC 22000 Scheme through its annual benchmarking process, which results in more business opportunities for FSSC 22000 certified organizations in national and international markets.
2) FSSC 22000 has a robust integrity program that assures the delivery of trust within the consumer goods industry.
