ISO 22000 vs FSSC 22000 – What’s the Difference?
While ISO 22000 defines the structure of a food safety management system, FSSC 22000 builds on it with:
- Industry-specific technical PRP standards
- FSSC-specific requirements such as allergen management and environmental monitoring
- GFSI recognition and independent accreditation oversight
This ensures your certification meets global expectations for food safety assurance and brand protection.
