Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000?
FSSC 22000 adds GFSI-benchmarked requirements and additional standards on top of ISO 22000, which is why major retailers prefer it.
Is FSSC 22000 accepted for export?
Yes. It is accepted by most global retailers, food service chains and food importers.
Do we need ISO 22000 first?
Not separately. The FSSC audit builds on the ISO 22000 system, so we implement one integrated documentation set.
