ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000 Certification Support
At Infinity Food Solutions, we provide expert guidance to design, implement, and certify your Food Safety Management System (FSMS) as per **ISO 22000:2018** or **FSSC 22000** (v6) standards. Ideal for food manufacturers, processors, exporters, and suppliers aiming for global market access, retailer requirements, or enhanced credibility. We handle gap analysis, documentation, training, internal audits, corrective actions (CAPA), and full preparation for Stage 1 & Stage 2 certification audits — ensuring smooth approval from accredited bodies like BSI, SGS, TÜV, or DNV.
ISO 22000 vs FSSC 22000 (2026)
Choose the Right Food Safety Certification
| Aspect | ISO 22000:2018 | FSSC 22000 (v6) |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | International FSMS standard for any food organization | GFSI-recognized scheme (ISO 22000 + PRP + FSSC additional requirements) |
| Recognition | Globally accepted, but not GFSI-benchmarked | GFSI-recognized — accepted by major retailers (Walmart, Tesco, etc.) & global buyers |
| Prerequisites (PRPs) | Defined by organization (ISO/TS 22002-x recommended) | Mandatory sector-specific PRPs (ISO/TS 22002-1 for manufacturing, etc.) |
| Validity | 3 years (annual surveillance audits) | 3 years (annual unannounced surveillance + recertification) |
| Best For | Domestic market, small-medium processors, entry-level FSMS | Exporters, large manufacturers, supply chain to international brands/retailers |
| Certification Body | Any ISO-accredited CB | Only FSSC-licensed CBs (e.g., BSI, SGS, DNV, TÜV) |
Certification process: Gap analysis → Implementation → Internal audit → Stage 1 (document review) → Stage 2 (on-site) → Certification. FSSC often requires unannounced audits. Choose based on your market & customer requirements.
