Compulsory learning pathway

You must finish Step 1 and Step 2 before this course will open. A food chain subcategory FI audit is conducted against four documents. Steps 1 and 2 teach two of them. This course teaches the other two, ISO 22002-7:2025 and the FSSC 22000 additional requirements.

This course is the retail and wholesale layer of FSSC 22000 Version 7. It covers food chain category F and teaches what ISO 22002-7:2025 adds on top of ISO 22002-100:2025, together with the FSSC 22000 additional requirements at their real category F scope.

Category F divides in two, and the division matters more than in any other category. Subcategory FI covers retail and wholesale activities and related e-commerce: the storage and provision of finished products to customers and consumers, including minor processing such as slicing, portioning and reheating. Subcategory FII covers brokering, trading and e-commerce carried out without physical handling. The scheme treats them very differently, and one of the first things this course does is establish which one you are.

ISO 22002-7:2025 is the most detailed of the sector parts. Where the transport and storage part treats contamination in a single clause, the retail part breaks it into five, with a subclause devoted to allergen control. It carries a rework clause, and it alone in the family carries clause 18 on display — the requirements that apply where food is presented to the consumer on open counters, service cabinets and self-service fixtures. Nothing in the rest of the ISO 22002 family addresses that, and for a supermarket or a delicatessen it is the heart of the operation.

Twenty four lessons across four teaching modules, each closing with a knowledge check, then an implementation toolkit module with two browser based tools and a final assessment module. The graded final assessment runs to four parts, 150 questions and 180 marks, with Part 4 carrying double marks. Three attempts and a pass mark of 70 percent.

What Will You Learn?

  • Determine your subcategory correctly between FI and FII, and understand why that single decision changes the whole audit basis.
  • Implement ISO 22002-7:2025 in full, including the five contamination subclauses, allergen control at the counter, rework, and Clause 18 on display, which exists in no other part of the ISO 22002 family.
  • Run allergen control where it actually ends, in a colleague answering a customer question about product sliced on shared equipment.
  • Apply the additional requirements at subcategory FI scope, including clause 2.5.18 on multi-site certification, which decides most retail group audits.

Course Content

Module 1: Category F, the FI and FII split, and what an audit is conducted against
Scope, why FII is treated differently, the four documents, and the wholesale-at-main-site rule.

  • Lesson 1: What this course covers, and what it assumes you already know
  • Lesson 2: FI and FII — the split that decides your whole audit
  • Lesson 3: The wholesale-at-main-site rule, and other scoping traps
  • Lesson 4: The four documents an FI audit is conducted against
  • Lesson 5: Where retail hazards actually come from
  • Module 1 knowledge check

Module 2: ISO 22002-7:2025, the store and its infrastructure
Construction and layout, workspaces, utilities, pest control, waste and food loss, equipment suitability and maintenance.

Module 3: ISO 22002-7:2025, contamination and the operational core
Purchased materials, storage and transport, the five contamination subclauses including allergen control, cleaning, hygiene, product information, defence and fraud.

Module 4: Rework, display, and the additional requirements at category F scope
Clause 17 rework, clause 18 display, which additional requirements reach FI and FII, and a readiness walk.

MODULE 5: THE IMPLEMENTATION TOOLKIT
Two browser tools that turn what you have learned into a scored, dated plan for your own site. Work them before you open the final assessment.

MODULE 6: FINAL ASSESSMENT AND NEXT STEPS
Four assessed parts, all marked by the platform the moment you submit. Parts 1 to 3 test the requirements. Part 4 is the case study assessment and carries double marks. Then your own site plan, self-assessed.
