FSSC 22000

FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification 22000) is an internationally accredited food safety certification scheme. It offers a structured and reliable framework for managing food safety hazards, ensuring consistent compliance, and maintaining top-tier food safety standards across the global supply chain.

The certification is built on the foundation of key elements, including Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), clearly defined implementation strategies, and essential prerequisite programs (PRPs). FSSC 22000 is fully recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), which sets the global benchmark for food safety management systems.

Today’s environment is filled with intense scrutiny but being competitive means never standing still.

QCI Global helps you see a way forward so you can advance confidently.
