Retailer Brand / private labels

business critical

retailers regarding own labels

Constant pressure

ISO 22000
FSSC 22000
Alfred Greimel

ISO 22000 is not recognised by
GFSI!
 … ISO is not a legal entity, ISO 22000 do not
have an owner!
 international “democratic” structure of ISO
needs allways many years for amendments!
 ISO covers the whole food chain…
 That is why ISO 22000 itself could not include
different and detailed PRP -prerequisite
programs for foodsafety and can not be
recognised by GFSI.

FSSC 22000 or ISO 22000?
 When choosing a
certification scheme keep in
mind that FSSC 22000
applies to manufacturers.
 If you are not a
manufacturer, but are a
company in the food chain,
use ISO 22000.
 If you manufacture food
products you have a choice
of ISO 22000 or FSSC
22000. Determine which
your customer base
prefers. For GFSI
recognition, choose FSSC
22000.
