In short

FSSC 22000 certification in Perth at a glance

Western Australia exports grain, and the food that reaches shelves is made from it as well as from locally produced ingredients. Fremantle Ports lists grain among the bulk cargoes at Kwinana and livestock among the Inner Harbour's exports, so Perth sits at the start of several food chains. A manufacturer or packer along them will meet retailers and multinational brands that insist on a Global Food Safety Initiative-recognised scheme. FSSC 22000 qualifies: ISO 22000 as the management system, sector prerequisite programmes for the type of operation, and additional scheme requirements covering food defence, fraud and allergen control. Sterling's Sydney office runs the gap assessment, builds the layers, trains internal auditors and prepares you for the certification body's audit under the scheme's rules.

FSSC 22000 in Perth: questions clients ask

Which Perth food businesses use FSSC 22000?

Manufacturers and packers selling to retailers or multinational food brands are the usual users, since those buyers ask for a GFSI-recognised scheme. Grain and bulk handlers may meet different regimes. Check each customer's supplier rules before committing, as some name FSSC 22000 and others a different scheme.

What extra does FSSC 22000 ask beyond ISO 22000?

It layers sector prerequisite programme requirements and scheme-specific rules, including food defence and food fraud, on top of ISO 22000. For a Perth manufacturer already certified to ISO 22000, the added work is mostly in those layers and in alignment with the scheme owner's audit rules.
