FSSC 22000 is a
reliable, based on ISO standards and internationally recognized scheme of audit
and certification of food safety management systems in the food supply chain.
FSSC 22000 uses existing standards ISO 22000, ISO 22003 as well as the
technical industrial specifications “Programs of preliminary conditions†(PPU),
which were developed on the basis of public consultations in cooperation with
numerous interested organizations. FSSC 22000 is a certification scheme that
absorbs ISO 22000 and contains a more extensive list of standards to be met by
the enterprise.
