The Global Food Safety Initiative's (GFSI) governing principles of Once Certified, Accepted Everywhere emphasizes implementing a benchmarked food safety standard for third-party audits to increase thoroughness and efficiency and enable suppliers and buyers to spend less time managing multiple different audits from customers.

The FSSC 22000 food safety certification scheme is designed to provide food safety audits that focus primarily on the documentation that proves food safety programs are being implemented in the facility as they are described in procedures. Therefore, it is imperative that food safety programs are documented accurately respective to how they are actually performed and consistent with the requirements of the FSSC 22000 Standard. The benefits of an FSSC 22000 audit include certification to a standardized global evaluation and assessment of food safety programs that extend beyond GMP inspections.

AIB's FSSC 22000 Overview webinar will help food companies realistically prepare for the FSSC 22000 Certification Audit and understand how this type of audit differs from a GMP inspection.

Topics to be covered include:

• GFSI introduction
• Overview of the FSSC 22000 Standard sections
• FSSC 22000 audit strengths
• Basic differences from GMP inspections
• Explanation of the audit scope, process, and the grading system
• Continuous management activities
• Suggested step-by-step process for getting started

Participants will also gain an understanding of specific directional words and phrases and learn practical tips for managing the day-to-day programs specific to the FSSC 22000 food safety scheme.

The webinar will conclude with Frequently Asked Questions and time for participants to submit their own questions.
