ISO 22000
FSSC 22000 & PAS 220 is the latest scheme recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). It incorporates ISO 22000 Food Safety principles and adds Pre-requisite programs for food safety manufacturing (PAS 220) and creates an effective framework for food safety management, communication along the food supply chain and control of food safety hazards.
