INTRODUCTION

FSSC 22000 is a Food Safety Management Systems standard which provides a framework for effectively managing food safety responsibilities for food handling enterprises. Unlike ISO 22000, FSSC 22000 is fully recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and is based on existing ISO Standards.

The Foundation of FSSC 22000 published Version 5.1 of its FSSC 22000 certification scheme on November 3, 2020. The main reasons for the updated version are compliance with the most recent benchmarking requirements of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and enhanced requirements for Certification Body (CB) performances as part of continuous improvement.

If you are working towards this standard or want to learn about the key changes to this standard, this course is for you!
