- Maintain the food defence threat assessment and the food fraud vulnerability assessment
- Keep the allergen management plan current with validated cleaning evidence
- Run the environmental monitoring programme and review the trend behind each result
- Hold food safety culture objectives with a measurement, ready for management review
- Keep the site audit ready every working day, because one audit in the cycle is unannounced
FSSC 22000 v6
A GFSI recognised scheme in three parts: ISO 22000 for the management system, a sector prerequisite specification, and the FSSC additional requirements that most audits actually turn on.
- 1Scheme structure2
- 2FSSC additional requirements17
- 3Audit and certification2
FSSC 22000, in practice.
Food safety system certification scheme, version 6.
Food manufacturers whose customers are retailers or multinational brands, where GFSI recognition is a condition of supply.
The clause numbers and titles above are the standard's own public structure. The standard itself is copyright of its issuing body and you buy it from them. What we add is the interpretation underneath, and that lives in your workspace.
Every month, on a schedule you can check.
This is the running work for this standard specifically. The general shape is the same across all of them.
- Food defence threat assessment and food fraud vulnerability assessment
- Allergen cleaning validation with analytical results
- Environmental monitoring results by zone with trend analysis
- Label approval records per SKU and destination market
- Certification body notifications sent within three working days
Each one is filed against the requirement it satisfies as the work happens, so the pack for the next visit already exists.
Standards that share the structure.
ISO 9001:2015
The quality management standard most certified organisations start with, and the one most other management system standards borrow their structure from.
ISO 22301:2019
The continuity standard, built around one question: when the thing you deliver stops, how quickly does it come back, and who decided that was fast enough.
SOC 2 (TSC 2017, rev. 2022)
Not a certification but an attestation. An independent auditor reports on whether your controls were designed properly, and for Type II, whether they operated over a period.
Name a clause in FSSC 22000 and we will open it.
The requirement, the control attached to it, the evidence that satisfies it, and the audit checklist it generates. Nothing prepared in advance, because there is nothing to prepare.
