In short

FSSC 22000 certification in Pune at a glance

MIDC lists food processing for its Pune-Chakan-Talegaon-Satara land, and the plants there that supply multinational retailers and brand owners are the ones asked for a benchmarked scheme such as FSSC 22000. The scheme requires a food site to run a food safety management system, add the prerequisite programmes for its sector and meet extra scheme rules, so retailers and brand owners can accept one certificate. Served from Sterling's Mumbai office, Pune teams get site visits where the work needs them and online sessions for the rest, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included with the engagement. Certification itself comes from an accredited certification body that you appoint, while Sterling prepares the people, records and system.

FSSC 22000 in Pune: questions clients ask

Where does FSSC 22000 come up in Pune?

It comes up where food plants on MIDC's Pune-Chakan-Talegaon land supply retailers and brands that want one recognised certificate, and where packaging suppliers are drawn into the same chain. Buyers choose the scheme, so ask each one which schemes it accepts before you commit to any.

Is FSSC 22000 harder than ISO 22000?

It asks for more, because it adds a sector prerequisite programme standard and extra scheme requirements. For a site already running ISO 22000 well, the extra work is usually in food defence, food fraud mitigation and allergen control documentation. A gap review shows how large that difference is for your plant.
