Who Should Use FSSC 22000?
Unlike ISO 22000, which is applicable to all organizations along the food chain; FSSC 22000 is specifically designed for food manufacturers. The scheme is intended for the audit and certification of the food safety management system of food manufacturers that process or manufacture:
Perishable animal products, excluding slaughtering and pre-slaughtering (e.g., meat, poultry, eggs, dairy and fish products)
Perishable vegetable products (e.g., fresh fruits and fresh juices, preserved fruits, fresh vegetables, preserved vegetables)
Products with long shelf life at ambient temperature (e.g., canned products, biscuits, snacks, oil, drinking water, beverages, pasta, flour, sugar, salt) (Bio)chemical products for food manufacturing (e.g., vitamins additives and bio-cultures) but excluding technical and technological aids.
