In short

FSSC 22000 certification in Medan at a glance

Big food brands do not audit every ingredient supplier in person, so they rely on schemes. In Medan the likely applicants are the confectioners, biscuit and cocoa makers and feed producers listed by the Medan Industrial Estate, and the palm-oil and oleochemical processors in the Sei Mangkei chain, who all sell into customers with approved-scheme lists. FSSC 22000 sits on ISO 22000 and adds prerequisite programmes for the sector plus requirements on food defence, food fraud, allergen management and the use of the certificate; it has the recognition of the Global Food Safety Initiative. Sterling serves Medan from its Jakarta office, builds the system with your quality team, and prepares you for an accredited certification body's audit.

FSSC 22000 in Medan: questions clients ask

Which Medan producers are most likely to be asked for FSSC 22000?

Makers of confectionery, biscuits and cocoa products, edible-oil and ingredient processors, and packaging suppliers that serve food brands. The request normally comes from a retailer, multinational or larger manufacturer that keeps an approved-scheme list. Check that list before investing, since some buyers accept ISO 22000 and others insist on FSSC 22000.

What is different about FSSC 22000 for a palm-oil or ingredient processor in North Sumatra?

The scheme adds food defence and food-fraud assessments and, for ingredient processors, the prerequisite programmes for the relevant category. Palm-oil processors also need traceability of raw material back to the supplier, which buyers increasingly examine. Sustainability schemes are a separate matter; FSSC 22000 deals with food safety.
