Food Safety Management Systems: A new choice, FSSC 22000
Food Safety Management Systems: A new choice, FSSC 22000
By: www.22000-Tools.com
A new Food Safety Management Certification Scheme has recently been added to the list of choices for food manufacturers. Based on ISO 22000, the new scheme FSSC 22000 is specific to food manufacturers, while ISO 22000 can apply to manufacturers as well as any other type of organization in the food supply chain.
FSSC 22000 includes the ISO 22000 requirements, but builds on them by adding specific criteria for manufacturers’ pre-requisite programs. The criteria are outlined in the document: PAS 220, published by BSI. The advantage to companies in choosing FSSC 22000 over ISO 22000 is the added approval of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). If your customers are looking for a GFSI Benchmarked certification, then you should consider FSSC 22000. Many large retailers require a GFSI scheme for their suppliers, as do many multinational food manufacturers.
To determine which scheme is best for your company, you will need to evaluate two things:
1. What are your customers looking for?
Talk to your customers to determine what they are requiring of suppliers. Do they want a GFSI scheme?
2. Are you a food manufacturer that falls under the scope outlined by FSSC 22000?
Perishable animal products, excluding slaughtering and pre-slaughtering
o Perishable vegetal products
o Products with a long shelf life at ambient temperature
o Chemical products for food manufacturing
(See “Food Safety System Certification 22000”, Foundation for Food Safety Certification, downloadable at www.fssc22000.com)
Once you have established which certification scheme is appropriate for your organization, it is time to start learning about what it will require for your organization to become registered.
The requirements for both standards are outlined in the ISO 22000 Standard, but for FSSC you will implement your pre-requisite (PRP) programs to meet the additional requirements in the PAS 220.
It is important to note that ISO 22000 does require that your organization has identified appropriate PRP programs, including those needed to meet statutory and regulatory requirements. Choosing ISO 22000 does not mean that your FSMS will not address items such as management of suppliers and others similar to those included in the PAS 220. It does mean that you will be evaluating and selecting PRPs applicable and appropriate to your organization.
Choosing the FSSC 22000 scheme means that you fall under the manufacturing categories listed above; and PAS 220 outlines the specific requirements your PRP programs will address.
PAS 220 includes requirements for:
Construction and layout of buildings
Layout of premises and workspace
Utilities- air, water, energy
Waste disposal
Equipment suitability, cleaning and maintenance
Management of purchased materials
Measures for prevention of cross contamination
Cleaning and sanitizing
Pest Control
Personal hygiene and employee facilities
Product recall procedures
Warehousing
Product information/consumer awareness
Food defense

How do I legally get out of my apt. lease if there is a serious issue with it’s construction and is unsafe?
Let me explain. In our closet there is a small hatch like door in the ceiling (does not lock), inside is the attic… A few weeks ago I find it wide open, call mangmnt they tell me to call the police. Police come and climb half way up in there and are baffled, because my attic is shared by the residents behind me… Officer suggested I get a gun and have my husband drill it shut the best he could. As the cop was leaving a man approached us and asked if we were missing items from our apt., I inquired why & who he was, he said he was the resident behind me! Management will not tell me if he has the same attic door in his apt. and we have already drilled it shut on our side. I am scared that I am going to walk in on someone in my apt., I believe someone was here while we were out of town prior to finding it open! How can I go about getting out of my lease without hiring an atty. and are there agencies which oversee apts. and their safety regulations, how do I find them? (I live in Texas)
contact HUD (Housing and Urban Development) they will do a federal investigation you can also contact Fair Housing they will help you to know the law and what your rights are.
Construction Safety Management Plan (CSMP) for the United States
In by gone days all a contractor had to do was give the customer good quality and good service and he/she would be set. Then set back and let your customers do your selling for you. They would tell a friend and then that friend would tell a friend. Your phone would be ringing off the hook. I remember as an Architectural designer some days I would have up to four people wanting to schedule appointments for designs. Those days are long gone! But Fear Not! Click Here For Help
