FSSC 22000 combines the food-chain category, relevant prerequisite programmes and additional scheme conditions. Organisations already certified to ISO 22000 still need a separate transition assessment.
Assess how far the current system meets applicable FSSC requirements. Identify category-specific prerequisites and additional scheme conditions. Distinguish documentation gaps from implementation gaps. Renaming an existing certificate cannot create FSSC certification before the necessary assessment is complete.
Match activities and products to the relevant food-chain category. Prerequisite references and assessment scope may differ accordingly. Two activities under one company need not be forced into one category. Describe process flows, sites and outsourced operations clearly in the application.
Review its operations, product conditions and relationship to the existing assessment. Explain responsibilities for both controlled and outsourced storage. A shared company name does not automatically include the address. Plan required notification and assessment under the scheme's conditions.
Assess history, storage, packaging integrity and traceability. Evidence must support safety and legal acceptability of reuse. Waste-reduction objectives cannot override food safety decisions. Do not mix unsuitable goods or products with unknown histories back into production simply to reduce costs.
Check publication, audit transition arrangements and current certificate status separately. Use applicable FSSC transition rules and the body's plan. Do not transfer deadlines from an old announcement to a new edition. Determine preparation needs separately for new applications, surveillance and upgrade assessment.
Clarify the requested products, activities and programme conditions. Verify actual certificate scope and status against relevant records. General recognition does not establish that your product or site is included. Additional customer supplier approval and product requirements still need to be met.
Share the subject, organisation or product, target market, current evidence and target date. The team can then separate consultancy, official fees, independent evaluation and realistic timing.
