FSSC 22000 Food Packaging

Packaging materials for food products must be functional, safe and not harm or alter the product. Around the world, food packaging is highly regulated, especially when it comes into contact with the food or beverage. During the manufacture of food packaging, businesses must consider a wide variety of potential hazards to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.

What are the benefits of FSSC 22000 certification?

This globally recognized Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmarked standard is based on the ISO 22000 Food Management System Standard, the industry relevant Pre-Requisite Program (PRP) and FSSC defined additional requirements. It can be easily integrated with other ISO standards, thereby reducing the number of audits required for your facility.

The standard can be applied to manufacturers of a wide variety of food packaging products made from:

• Glass
• Flexible & rigid plastics
• Metal
• Paper
• Laminates
• Wooden
• Natural materials
