FSSC 22000 certification in Osaka at a glance
Walk through a food factory in Osaka and the shelves tell the story: some products stay in Japan, others are boxed for ports and airports and customers who have never seen the Japanese hygiene rules. For those customers a recognised food safety scheme is shorthand for trust, and FSSC 22000 is one of the schemes retailers and brand owners name. It builds on ISO 22000 with sector prerequisite programmes and additional scheme requirements, and it is awarded only through certification bodies licensed by the scheme owner. Sterling serves Osaka from its Tokyo office, closes the gaps between your HACCP plan and the scheme, prepares teams for the unannounced-audit mindset, and leaves the certificate to the accredited body.

FSSC 22000 in Osaka: questions clients ask
Which Osaka food businesses pursue FSSC 22000?
Mostly manufacturers that supply large retailers, brand owners or overseas customers, including those shipping through the Port of Osaka. A buyer's supplier approval rules tell you whether FSSC 22000 or another scheme is wanted, so ask for them in writing before planning the work.
Can an Osaka factory move from HACCP to FSSC 22000 in stages?
Yes. HACCP-based hygiene control is already required of food businesses, so many plants build on it with ISO 22000 and then add the scheme's prerequisite programmes and extra requirements. Staging the work lets production keep running, and the accredited certification body will confirm what its assessment covers.
