FSSC 22000 revised their FSMA Addendum
With the publication of FSSC 22000 Version 5, and the revision of ISO 22000:2018, FSSC 22000 has produced a new FSSC 22000 Version 5 FSMA PCHF addendum.
The role of the addendum is to help companies understand how they can integrate the requirements of the US FDA FSMA regulations into their FSSC 22000 Food Safety Management system, and use the FSSC 22000 risk-based audit as a means of sharing information relating to the control of hazards up and down the supply chain, enhancing transparency and contributing to compliance. It is anticipated that the revised FSSC 22000 FSMA Addendum will help companies all over the world be aware of, and implement, the appropriate expectations of the US FDA FSMA regulations.
The Addendum is accompanied by a revised gap analysis of the FSSC 22000 V5 requirements (Category C – Manufacture of Human Food) against the requirements of the FDA Preventive Controls for Human Food (PCHF) rule. This shows how well the two sets of requirements align at the same time as providing an explanation of the differences in the terminology used.
