What is FSSC 22000 Version 7?
FSSC 22000 is a globally recognised food safety management system certification scheme. It combines the management system requirements of ISO 22000, sector-specific prerequisite programme requirements, and additional FSSC requirements.
Version 7 introduces important updates to the scheme structure, food chain category requirements, prerequisite programme expectations and additional requirements. For food manufacturers, this means understanding how ISO 22000:2018, ISO/TS 22002-100:2025 and FSSC 22000 V7 additional requirements work together as one food safety system.
In plain English: FSSC 22000 V7 is not just a checklist. It is a structured food safety management system that helps organisations control hazards, strengthen food safety culture, manage suppliers, verify PRPs, and prepare for certification audits.
📘 ISO 22000:2018
The food safety management system standard. It covers context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement.
🏭 ISO/TS 22002-100:2025
The prerequisite programme technical specification for food manufacturing, replacing older sector PRP expectations and strengthening manufacturing hygiene controls.
✅ FSSC V7 Additional Requirements
Scheme-specific requirements such as service and purchased material management, allergen management, food defence, food fraud, environmental monitoring, food safety culture and more.
