FSSC 22000 Certification

Save time and money if you are already ISO 22000 certified. NSF is accredited to certify to FSSC 22000 (ANAB Accredited, version 6). This complete GFSI benchmarked certification standard combines the requirements of ISO 22000, the appropriate technical standard and additional requirements to meet FSSC 22000.

FSSC 22000 certifies the food, feed and packaging safety systems of companies in the food chain that process or manufacture animal products, perishable vegetable products, products with a long shelf life and other food ingredients like additives, vitamins and bio-cultures.

Certifying to FSSC 22000 addresses food safety and quality management in:

• Food and ingredient manufacturing
• Food packaging manufacturing
• Storage, distribution, transportation and logistics
• Animal feed manufacturing
• Pet food manufacturing
• Biochemical manufacturing

The FSSC 22000 Development Programme is tailored for small and medium-sized food organisations aiming to improve food safety and meet market requirements. Structured in two progressive levels, it offers a flexible pathway for businesses to enhance their food safety systems aligned with international standards like CODEX HACCP and GFSI Global Markets Programme and FSSC 22000 Structure. Through step-by-step support, the programme helps SMEs advance towards full FSSC 22000 certification, making it easier for them to ensure safe food production, broaden market access, and integrate smoothly into supply chains. NSF offer this as an unaccredited programme.

• Assure that food has been produced, prepared and handled according to the most recognised standards
• Demonstrate a commitment to quality processes and continual improvement
• Strengthen your brand and get access to top retailers
