Demonstrate food safety excellence and access global markets

Food safety is fundamental to consumer confidence, brand protection, and business success. FSSC 22000 is one of the world's leading food safety certification schemes, providing organisations with a robust framework for managing food safety risks, meeting regulatory requirements, and demonstrating commitment to internationally recognised best practice.

Built upon the internationally recognised ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System standard, FSSC 22000 incorporates additional sector-specific prerequisite programmes and scheme requirements designed to strengthen food safety controls throughout the supply chain. This enhanced approach provides greater assurance of food safety, consistency, and operational integrity.

FSSC 22000 certification helps organisations:

  • Strengthen food safety risk management and control measures
  • Meet customer, regulatory, and industry requirements
  • Improve operational consistency and process control
  • Build confidence with customers, retailers, and supply chain partners
  • Protect brand reputation and consumer trust
  • Support market access and supply chain opportunities
  • Drive continual improvement across food safety operations

Recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI)

FSSC 22000 is recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) for applicable sectors, providing an internationally accepted benchmark for food safety assurance. GFSI recognition gives customers, retailers, and brand owners confidence that certified organisations are operating to a globally recognised food safety standard.

For exporters and organisations supplying international markets, FSSC 22000 certification can be particularly valuable in meeting customer expectations and market access requirements. It demonstrates a commitment to best-practice food safety management and provides independent verification of your food safety systems.

Applicable Across the Food Supply Chain

FSSC 22000 is applicable across a broad range of sectors, including:

  • Agriculture and primary production
  • Food and beverage manufacturing
  • Storage and distribution
  • Food ingredient, additive, and chemical manufacturing
  • Catering and food service operations

The scheme provides a comprehensive framework for organisations seeking to strengthen food safety performance while supporting regulatory compliance and business growth.

Accredited Certification You Can Trust

Telarc's accreditation scope, including approved standards and industry sectors, can be independently verified through the JASANZ Register of Accredited Bodies.
