Are you prepared to manage unexpected food safety risks? 🚨 In today’s dynamic food supply chain, managing risks is no longer optional—it’s essential for ensuring the safety of your products, protecting your brand, and maintaining consumer trust. That’s why FSSC 22000 places a risk-based approach at the heart of its Food Safety Management System (FSMS) certification, using the ISO Harmonized Structure. Integral to this approach is a Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle that guides your business to: ↪️ Plan: Identify and analyze potential risks, set objectives, and develop a targeted strategy to prevent safety risks. ↪️ Do: Implement measures to control hazards and mitigate risks effectively. ↪️ Check: Monitor and evaluate the results of the implementation against the expected outcomes. ↪️ Act: Based on the results of the Check phase, adapt and optimize processes to minimize future risks and seize opportunities. Risk-based thinking through the PDCA cycle allows an organization to determine the factors that could cause its processes and food safety management system to deviate from the planned results, put preventive controls in place, minimize adverse effects, and maximize opportunities as they arise.

We are all born free and equal. Regardless of race, religion, gender, language, or nationality, everyone has the right to life, freedom, and safety. Human rights are not just abstract ideas; they have become actionable standards through declarations, covenants, and bills. They exist to protect the fundamental aspects of humanity necessary for people to lead dignified lives, including access to healthcare, safe & fair working conditions, and an adequate standard of living. Last week may have been #humanrightsday, but let's keep the conversation going. Let's ensure we are advocating ✨every day✨ for the work of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and continue to defend the fundamental rights and freedoms to which all people are entitled. #wepromoteHumanRightseveryday #FSSC24000 #HRDD

As food safety professionals, we are familiar with HACCP principles. But, how does HACCP relate to the globally recognized FSSC 22000 certification Program? FSSC 22000 incorporates the international food safety management standard ISO 22000, which includes all seven Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles. This means that FSSC 22000 contains HACCP as a fundamental part of its Food Safety Management System (FSMS) and expands them, providing a more robust and internationally recognized framework for food safety certification: ✅ Certification requirements: FSSC 22000 provides a more comprehensive FSMS than HACCP alone. The FSSC certification Scheme for FSMS incorporates the international ISO 22000 standard for FSMS, sector-specific prerequisite programs for pre-handling of plant products, food, feed, and packaging manufacturing, transport and storage, retail, wholesale, and e-commerce, and catering and food services, as well as the FSSC 22000 Additional Requirements that mandate conditions for food defense, food fraud mitigation, management of allergens, and hazard control and measures for preventing cross-contamination, among many more. ✅ Certification process: FSSC 22000 follows a third-party certification process. It involves audits by FSSC-licensed and accredited Certification Bodies and qualified auditors, ensuring consistent and high-quality audit performance with the FSSC Integrity Program. ✅ Certification recognition: FSSC 22000 is recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and is built on existing ISO standards. Its global recognition makes it more widely accepted in international markets than HACCP certification alone. Are you curious to learn more about FSSC 22000 certification?
