What Is FSSC 22000 Version 7?
FSSC 22000 Version 7 is a food safety management system certification scheme based on ISO 22000, ISO 22002-100:2025, the applicable sector-specific standard from the ISO 22002 series and additional FSSC requirements.
FSSC 22000 Version 7 covers areas such as food fraud mitigation, food defense, allergen management, environmental monitoring, food safety and quality culture, and food loss and waste.Â
It applies to eligible activities across several parts of the food supply chain, including food and feed manufacturing, food packaging manufacturing, storage and transportation, catering, retail and wholesale operations. Applicability depends on the organization’s activities and the relevant FSSC food-chain category.
FSSC 22000 may be particularly suitable for organizations that already use ISO-based management systems and want a structured approach to managing food safety risks.
What Is BRCGS Food Safety?
The BRCGS Global Standard Food Safety, commonly known as BRCGS Food Safety, is a GFSI-recognized standard for food manufacturing, processing and packing operations.
The standard provides a structured framework for managing product safety, integrity, legality and quality, together with the operational controls needed to maintain these requirements.
BRCGS certification is widely used by food and beverage manufacturers that supply retailers, brand owners and international customers requiring recognized third-party food safety assurance.
FSSC 22000 or BRCGS Food Safety: Which Is Right for Your Business?
FSSC 22000 and BRCGS Food Safety both support food safety certification, but they use different frameworks and apply to different parts of the food supply chain.
Food Safety Certification | FSSC 22000 | BRCGS Food Safety |
Framework | Uses the ISO management system structure | Uses detailed requirements developed for food manufacturing, processing and packing operations |
Core Requirements | Combines ISO 22000, applicable ISO 22002 prerequisite program requirements and additional FSSC requirements | Covers product safety, integrity, legality, quality and related operational controls |
Potential Fit | May suit organizations already familiar with ISO-based management systems | May suit manufacturers whose retailers, brand owners or customers request BRCGS certification |
Scope | Applies to eligible activities across several food-chain categories | Primarily applies to food manufacturing, processing and packing operations |
Packaging Manufacturers | May apply to eligible food packaging manufacturers | Standalone packaging manufacturers would generally consider BRCGS Packaging Materials |
Certification Driver | May be selected based on customer, supply chain or management system requirements | Frequently selected in response to retailer, brand-owner or customer requirements |
The appropriate certification route depends on your activities, existing management system, intended certification scope and customer requirements.
