At Accent-TS, our dedication to food safety goes beyond the general requirements. We are proud to be FSSC 22000 certified, recognizing us as adhering to one of the world’s most comprehensive and rigorous Food Safety System Certification schemes.
FSSC 22000 is fully recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), which is crucial for organizations operating with major international retailers and manufacturers. This system combines the globally accepted management framework of ISO 22000 with sector-specific Prerequisite Programs (PRPs) and additional scheme requirements to provide unparalleled assurance.
What FSSC 22000 Means for Our Clients:
- Global Recognition (GFSI Benchmarked): Your partnership with Accent-TS is validated on the global stage. Our GFSI-recognized certification reduces the need for multiple customer audits, simplifying your supply chain management and ensuring acceptance by the world’s leading food companies.
- Enhanced Operational Control: FSSC 22000 demands highly specific and detailed sector-specific PRPs (like ISO/TS 22002-x standards). This means our control over operational areas—such as building design, personnel hygiene, waste disposal, and allergen management—is exceptionally rigorous and tailored to our industry segment.
- Proactive System Management: This scheme requires a more robust focus on additional management requirements, including comprehensive hazard identification and risk assessment, managing procured materials, and continuous monitoring of performance, ensuring the system remains proactive, not reactive.
- Supply Chain Trust: We operate with a systemic approach to managing food safety hazards. Our commitment to FSSC 22000 demonstrates a maximum level of due diligence and transparency, establishing us as a highly trusted link in your food supply chain.
The Foundation of Our Excellence in Food Safety:
Achieving FSSC 22000 certification requires a continuous commitment to:
- Integrated ISO 22000: We maintain a robust Food Safety Management System (FSMS) based on the principles of ISO 22000 (including HACCP and interactive communication).
- Sector-Specific PRPs: We implement detailed Prerequisite Programs (PRPs) that are specific to our industry segment, as defined by the ISO/TS 22002 series (e.g., specific rules for food manufacturing, catering, or transport).
- Additional Scheme Requirements: We adhere to the supplementary requirements set by the FSSC scheme, which often cover enhanced emergency preparedness, effective resource management, and management of services like equipment repair and maintenance.
