SGS is pleased to confirm that it has achieved accreditation to provide certification against FSSC 22000 Food Safety System Certification after a successful assessment by UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Services).
The UKAS FSSC 22000 accreditation covers all of the areas of the accredited ISO 22000 scope which are relevant for FSSC 22000.
“SGS is proud of achieving this milestone as it is now even in a stronger position to be able to support our Clients’ food safety management systems through certification”, states Supreeya Sansawat, Global Manager of Food Services at SGS.
In December 2010, SGS was granted accreditation for FSSC 22000 by JAS-ANZ.
The introduction of FSSC 22000 marks a major step closer towards a single, internationally accredited and recognised superior food safety standard. It combines the ISO 22000 Food Safety Management standard with the Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 220 and other additional requirements, and it is fully recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). GFSI is an organisation committed to benchmarking food safety management schemes with an aim towards fostering a convergence between food safety standards.
The FSSC 22000 standard is designed for food manufacturers who supply or plan to supply their products to major food retailers or major branded food companies.
