The 18 FSSC 22000 V7 Additional Requirements, and the Course That Covers Every One

Most audit findings do not come from ISO 22000. They come from the layer on top: the FSSC additional requirements, eighteen clauses that many teams only discover properly at audit time. This 8-hour course walks through all of them, clause by clause, with a certificate at the end.

What are the additional requirements, and why do they matter so much?

FSSC 22000 is ISO 22000 plus a prerequisite programme specification plus a set of scheme-specific additional requirements. That third layer, clauses 2.5.1 to 2.5.18 in Version 7, is where FSSC audits differ most from a plain ISO 22000 audit, and where teams trained only on ISO 22000 walk into interviews unprepared. Food defence plans get sampled. Food fraud assessments get questioned. Culture plans get measured against evidence. If your site is certified or certifying under Version 7, this layer is not optional reading; it is the exam.

All 18 requirements the course covers

2.5.1 Management of services and purchased materials
2.5.2 Product labelling and printed materials
2.5.3 Food defence
2.5.4 Food fraud mitigation
2.5.5 Logo use
2.5.6 Management of allergens
2.5.7 Environmental monitoring
2.5.8 Food safety and quality culture
2.5.9 Quality control
2.5.10 Transport, storage and warehousing
2.5.11 Hazard control and cross-contamination prevention
2.5.12 PRP verification
2.5.13 Product design and development
2.5.14 Traceability (C0)
2.5.15 Equipment management
2.5.16 Food loss and waste
2.5.17 Communication requirements
2.5.18 Multi-site certification requirements

Clause numbering as presented in the course for food manufacturing; always verify applicability to your certification scope against the current published scheme documents.

The pattern we see at audits: sites prepare hardest for ISO 22000 because it is the biggest document, then collect their nonconformities in this list instead, most often in food defence, food fraud, allergen management and culture. Training your audit-facing team on these eighteen clauses is the highest-return 8 hours in your audit preparation.

How the course works

  • 18 focused lessons, one per requirement, in text, audio and video, plus knowledge tests, a course assignment with feedback, and a final assessment.
  • Self-paced and mobile friendly: complete it in a focused week or spread it across a month; enrolment validity is lifetime.
  • Certificate of completion to file as competence evidence for exactly the clauses your auditor will probe.
  • Practitioner-taught: built by Mthokozisi Nkosi, lead auditor, trainer and consultant, so each clause comes with the questions auditors actually ask about it.
  • Prerequisite: a good understanding of basic food safety and GMP. New to the scheme entirely? Start with the Introduction course first.
Building the whole system, not just this layer? This course is one third of the complete FSSC 22000 Implementation bundle (ISO 22000 + the PRP standard + these additional requirements, 22 hours, R4,450), and the documents for all eighteen clauses are templated in the V7 document toolkits at ascfoodsafety.com.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the Introduction course?
The Introduction covers the whole scheme at foundation level. This course goes deep on one layer only: the 18 additional requirements, clause by clause, for people preparing for or maintaining certification.
Who should take the Additional Requirements course?
Implementation teams, QA and QC managers, food safety teams, internal auditors, supervisors and anyone responsible for FSSC 22000 compliance, ideally everyone an auditor might interview.
How long does it take and what does it cost?
8 hours self-paced, R1,950 once off with lifetime enrolment validity, including the assessments and certificate of completion.
Do I need prior knowledge?
Yes, a good understanding of basic food safety and good manufacturing practices. If you are new to FSSC 22000, take the Introduction course first.
Does the course cover food defence and food fraud in detail?
Yes. Food defence (2.5.3), food fraud mitigation (2.5.4), allergen management (2.5.6) and food safety culture (2.5.8) each get dedicated lessons, and these are the clauses where V7 audits concentrate.

Eighteen clauses stand between your ISO 22000 system and a clean FSSC 22000 audit. Learn all of them. Enrol in the FSSC 22000 V7 Additional Requirements course today.
