The FSSC Development Program supports small and medium-sized organizations (SMEs) in the supply of safe food.
The FSSC Development Program Version 1.1 provides a two-level approach to support SMEs in producing safe food. It is aligned with CODEX HACCP, GFSI Global Markets, and fits into the FSSC 22000 structure. As such, the Program is especially suitable for SMEs who want to meet the food safety requirements of their clients or have the ambition to enlarge their market access.
Organizations that conform to the FSSC Development Program requirements have the added benefit of being listed in the FSSC register of Conforming Organizations. Integrating the Program in vendor assurance programs supports food organizations in contributing to the food safety of their SME suppliers.
The FSSC Development Program is applicable to smaller and medium sized food organizations in the sectors food manufacturing, catering, retail, and transport & storage. Both manufacturers of ingredients that supply to other food manufacturers and those that supply to retailers and food service organizations can benefit from the FSSC Development Program. Examples of organizations that could benefit from the FSSC Development Program are listed below.
The FSSC Development Program Version 1.1 requires that food organizations meet minimum food safety requirements (Level 1 or Level 2) and allows them to proceed towards accredited third-party certification such as FSSC 22000.
