FSSC 22000 is a Food Safety Certification Scheme based on the existing internationally recognized standard ISO 22000 and complemented by technical standards, for food manufacturing, for packaging manufacturing and control of food safety hazards, helps food producers reduce the risk of providing an unsafe product to consumers.

FSSC 22000 is a complete GFSI-benchmarked food safety certification system for food manufacturers, based on the ISO 22000, ISO/TS 22002-1 and ISO/TS 22002-4 standards. NSF International Strategic Registrations (NSF-ISR) is accredited to provide this certification under ISO/IEC 17021.

FSSC 22000 was developed to certify food safety systems of companies in the food chain that process, manufacture or transport food, feed for animals, additives, minerals and bio-cultures.

ISO 22000:2018 was published on June 19, 2018. Since ISO 22000 is a large portion of FSSC 22000, the changes are also reflected in the FSSC 22000 Version 5 update.
