They are easy to understand

FSSC 22000 is an internationally acclaimed certification scheme designed to help companies produce safe, high-quality food. The certification scheme covers specific aspects of the food production process such as inspection, hygiene controls, documentation and employee screening/personal hygiene screening/personal hygiene screening. With Process Street’s FSSC 22000 checklists you can conduct thorough internal audits as well as gain measurable readiness audits prior to certification.

In order to prepare your company for an FSSC 22000 audit, it is vitally important to form a team of employees dedicated solely to audit preparation. This team should familiarize itself with FSSC 22000 requirements and conduct periodic internal audits to identify gaps in food safety management system compliance. These audits will help your company prepare for third-party auditors and strengthen food safety standards, increasing consumer trust in your products while meeting the requirements of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) without incurring fines or other penalties. FSSC 22000 offers more robust standards compliance than ISO 22000 but both certification standards are GFSI recognized.
