RCB International Achieves First FSSC 24000 Certification in USA

First FSSC 24000 Certification in the USA

RCB International Ltd has become the first organization in the United States to be FSSC 24000 certified, following an independent audit conducted by DNV, an FSSC-licensed Certification Body. This certification verifies that RCB fully meets the requirements of this comprehensive, globally recognized Certification Scheme for Social Management Systems.

RCB International is also the first organization globally to achieve dual FSSC certifications, holding both FSSC 22000 and FSSC 24000 certificates. This combination addresses both food safety management and social responsibility within its organization.

Both certification schemes align with the ISO Harmonized Structure (FSSC 22000 incorporates ISO 22000, while FSSC 24000 incorporates PAS 24000). This facilitates integration with other ISO Management Systems and streamlining implementation for organizations with existing ISO-based frameworks.
