FSSC 22000 consultancy for the food industry
We help you implement FSSC 22000 — the GFSI-recognised food safety scheme based on ISO 22000 — and get your company ready for the certification audit, whether you manufacture food or produce packaging or ingredients.
No obligation — sign up as a company and we'll put you in touch with a specialist consultant.
FSSC 22000 = ISO 22000 + sector-specific PRPs + the scheme's additional requirements
Who is FSSC 22000 for?
FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification 22000) combines the ISO 22000 management system with sector-specific prerequisite programmes (PRPs) and a set of additional requirements specific to the scheme. It is common in:
Food and drink manufacturers
Producers of ingredients, additives and premixtures
Manufacturers of packaging and food-contact materials
Food storage and transport companies
Suppliers to major brands and retailers that require a GFSI scheme
Companies that already hold ISO 22000 and want to move up to a GFSI-recognised scheme
How we help you get there
Our support covers the whole journey, from the first assessment to the day of the certification audit:
- 1
Initial assessment
We review your activity, your facilities and your current management system (whether you already have ISO 22000, HACCP or another) to establish your real starting point towards FSSC 22000.
- 2
Gap analysis
We compare your situation against the requirements of ISO 22000, the sector-specific PRPs that apply to you and FSSC 22000's own additional requirements.
- 3
Implementing the management system
We help you build or adapt your system: hazard analysis, HACCP plan, prerequisite programmes, supplier control, allergen management and food fraud, among others.
- 4
Team training
We train managers and the staff involved so the system is genuinely applied day to day, not just on paper.
- 5
Audit preparation
We carry out a mock internal audit to spot weak points and close out nonconformities before the official certification audit.
- 6
Support during the audit
We support you on the day of the audit with the accredited certification body, and with managing the corrective action plan through to award of the certificate.
Duvalis Consulting advises and prepares your company throughout the process. The final certificate is issued by an accredited, independent certification body, following its own audit. Duvalis Consulting is not a certification body and does not issue certificates.
Benefits of achieving certification
Recognised by GFSI
As it is recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative, FSSC 22000 is accepted by customers and retailers worldwide, making exporting easier.
An ISO 22000 base with a sector focus
It combines the rigour of an ISO management system with prerequisite programmes tailored to your specific activity, without duplicating effort if you already work with ISO standards.
Fewer audits, more efficiency
If you already have other ISO systems in place, FSSC 22000 can be integrated into the same documentation and audit structure, reducing the management burden.
Confidence for key accounts
Many brands and retail chains require a GFSI scheme such as FSSC 22000 in order to approve their food suppliers.
