In 2022, Foundation FSSC is proud to introduce a new series of four public webinars about FSSC 22000 – “FSSC Insights.” With free webinars available to all, we aim to create a better understanding and awareness of FSSC 22000 and food safety management.
Every webinar session will consist of an in-depth presentation on a topic specific to FSSC 22000 and food safety management, plus an opportunity to ask us anything FSSC 22000 related.
The host of these webinars is FSSC Market Development Director Cor Groenveld.
The relevance of Food Fraud Mitigation continues to take precedence within the Food Industry, not in the least following several food scandals that have led to reduced consumer confidence across the supply chain sectors.
FSSC Technical Director Elsabe Matthee will be covering this incredibly important topic alongside a special guest speaker – Dr. John Spink, Director of the “Food Fraud Initiative” and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Supply Chain Management at Michigan State University.
Target Audience
This webinar will benefit all who are involved in food safety management within the consumer goods supply chain, whether currently certified by FSSC 22000 or not.
Registration
Unlike our usual two-session program, this webinar will be held only once on Thursday 7 July, at 1 pm CET. The recording will be emailed automatically to all registered participants. Click the link below to register today!
Event rundown
Q&A from Webinar
-
What are the contact details when identifying Certificate Fraud?
Please get in touch with us via the contact details on our website if you identify that an FSSC 22000 Certificate does not appear on the Public Register: Certified Organizations
-
Can we review the status of an FSSC 22000 certification for a particular supplier?
The validity of an FSSC 22000 certificate may be verified on the FSSC 22000 website via our Public Register: Certified Organizations
-
Is it true that FSSC 22000 requires an organization to include the company/site/production processes in their vulnerability assessment?
Yes, the food fraud mitigation plan required by the FSSC 22000 Scheme shall cover both the processes and products (including raw materials, packaging materials and final products) within the FSMS scope of the organization, as there may be a a risk for food fraud both from within and outside the organization.
-
Does FSSC 22000 require an organization to address food packaging fraud vulnerabilities? Especially keeping in mind increased popularity of recycled packaging and its availability.
Yes, the requirements of the Scheme, Part 2, Section 2.5.4 on food fraud mitigation are applicable to all Food Chain Categories, including Category I (Production of Food Packaging and Packaging Materials).
-
Would the work done around Context of Organization support a company’s Food Fraud prevention effort?
Food fraud is one of the issues to be considered as referenced in ISO 22000:2018, Clause 4.1, Note 2; however, the FSSC 22000 Scheme, Part 2, Section 2.5.4 has further detailed requirements that need to be considered as part of food fraud mitigation.
-
Are VACCP documents the same as HACCP documents?
No, the requirements for food fraud mitigation (VACCP) are different from HACCP.
VACCP is concerned with the prevention of economically motivated food fraud. HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product.
Please refer to our Guidance Document on Food Fraud Mitigation for further information, which is available in our section for Guidance Documents

If food fraud occurs, it is related back to our company or only to the particular supplier?
The food fraud mitigation plan shall cover both the processes and products (including raw materials, packaging materials and final products) within the FSMS scope of the organization.
-
Should the vulnerability assessment of an organization include ‘finished goods’, alongside ‘raw materials’?
Yes, the food fraud mitigation plan required by the FSSC 22000 Scheme shall cover both the processes and products (including raw materials, packaging materials and final products) within the FSMS scope of the organization, as there may be a a risk for food fraud both from within and outside the organization.
