ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000
International food-safety management standards combining HACCP principles with management-system requirements, required for most beverage exports.
ISO 22000 and its more rigorous derivative FSSC 22000 are international food-safety management standards. They combine HACCP principles with broader management-system requirements (similar to ISO 9001 for quality).
Difference:
- **ISO 22000**, base food-safety management standard
- **FSSC 22000**, ISO 22000 + sector-specific PRPs (Pre-Requisite Programs) + additional GFSI requirements. The full GFSI-recognised version.
For Indian beverage plants, FSSC 22000 is the **de facto standard for export** to:
- Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar)
- Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria)
- Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia)
- EU and US (with additional FSMA/FDA requirements)
Implementation time: 6-12 months. Certification cost: ₹3-6 Lakhs initial + annual surveillance.
