FSSC 22000 certification in Davao City at a glance
A Davao packer that wants shelf space at a retailer, or a contract with an overseas importer, may be asked for FSSC 22000 by name. Davao City's government lists food production and food manufacturing among its investment priorities, and the Daliao fishport area in Toril is where a food terminal complex with cold storage has been proposed, so processors and handlers are part of the local picture. The scheme takes ISO 22000 as its core and adds sector prerequisite programmes plus requirements on food defence, food fraud and allergens. Each buyer decides whether it needs it at all. Sterling builds the documented system from its Manila office, and an accredited certification body issues the certificate after its own audit.

FSSC 22000 in Davao City: questions clients ask
When does a Davao food manufacturer need FSSC 22000?
When a retailer, brand owner or importer says it will only take stock from suppliers certified under a recognised scheme. A Davao manufacturer selling packaged produce or processed fish may meet that request. It is worth asking the buyer first, because some accept ISO 22000 or HACCP-based audits instead.
What does FSSC 22000 add beyond ISO 22000?
It keeps ISO 22000 as its core, then adds sector-specific prerequisite programmes and extra requirements covering food defence, food fraud, allergen management and supplier control. A Davao plant that already runs ISO 22000 therefore closes a defined set of gaps, not a new system. An accredited certification body issues the certificate.
