In short

FSSC 22000 certification in Berlin at a glance

Coffee roasters, chocolate makers, bakeries and bottlers give Berlin a food industry that Berlin Partner puts at the centre of its manufacturing story, with Bahlsen, Storck, Stollwerck, Coca-Cola and the Radeberger Group named among its companies. Those producers sell to retail chains and brand owners that often insist on a benchmarked food safety scheme. FSSC 22000 is one: it takes ISO 22000 as its core, adds sector-specific prerequisite programmes, and layers on rules for food defence, food fraud and allergen management, with certification by bodies approved under the scheme. It covers manufacturers, packaging producers and some storage and transport operations. Sterling builds the system from its Frankfurt office, and food-law detail sits on the Germany page.

FSSC 22000 in Berlin: questions clients ask

Which Berlin food producers are asked for FSSC 22000?

Typically manufacturers and packers that supply retail chains or brand owners who name the scheme in supplier terms. Berlin Partner describes a food industry centred on coffee, confectionery, baked goods and beverages. The customer decides, so ask for its current supplier requirements.

How does FSSC 22000 differ from HACCP for a Berlin bakery?

HACCP is the hazard-control method every food business applies; FSSC 22000 is a certified scheme that wraps HACCP in ISO 22000 and adds sector prerequisites and extra rules. A bakery with a sound HACCP plan has the foundation, and the buyer decides whether it also wants the scheme.
