FSSC 22000 is a globally recognized, GFSI-benchmarked Food Safety Management System certification scheme. Built on the foundations of ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management, aligned with the ISO high level structure and the ISO 22002-100 Prerequisite Programmes on Food Safety, it incorporates internationally accepted best practices for food safety. FSSC 22000 helps organizations deliver safe food by implementing a systematic, risk based, and preventative approach, while driving continual improvement of their FSMS.

 

Course aim

In this course, you will gain the essential skills to conduct a baseline review of your organization’s current FSMS, evaluating its alignment and readiness for FSSC 22000 certification. Using a step-by-step approach, you’ll learn how to develop an implementation plan, create the necessary documentation, and effectively monitor your FSMS.

 

How will I benefit?

This course will help you:

• Become familiar with the ISO 22000 framework for implementing a food safety management system (FSMS). This should form a sound basis for your implementation efforts and benefit your organization
• Recognize where adjustments might need to be made to this framework, to accommodate your particular situation and progress made to date
• Increase your knowledge of the key concepts and requirements of FSSC 22000, with a strong focus on practical implementation
• Gain the practical skills to conduct your own baseline review of your organization’s current FSMS against FSSC 22000 requirements, and effectively implement its key concepts

Your learning will be through an activity-based, delegate centred approach. This will help you share experiences and knowledge with other attendees; bringing alive the information presented and resulting in enhanced retention and application to your own workplace.
