FSSC 22000 certification in Chiang Mai at a glance
A community enterprise in the hills outside Chiang Mai perfects a product with help from university food experts, and then a retailer in Bangkok, or an importer abroad, asks which food safety scheme it holds. This is how FSSC 22000 arrives in the north. CMU STeP highlights projects on safe new food products, and the university's Faculty of Agro-Industry feeds the same community. The scheme builds on ISO 22000, adds prerequisite programme specifications for the type of food business and extra rules on food defence and fraud, and is recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative. Sterling begins with a gap check from its Manila office, supports your team at Chiang Mai sites, and prepares an accredited certification body's audit.

FSSC 22000 in Chiang Mai: questions clients ask
When does a Chiang Mai food business need FSSC 22000?
When a retailer, exporter or brand owner names a Global Food Safety Initiative scheme in its terms. Many Chiang Mai producers start with HACCP or ISO 22000 and move up as customers grow. Ask the buyer which scheme it accepts before committing, because the choice shapes cost and effort.
How can CMU-supported food start-ups prepare for FSSC 22000?
Begin with the basics the scheme depends on: hygiene, pest control, cleaning, traceability and supplier approval, then document hazard analysis. A product developed with university support often has good science but thin records, so building records early makes later certification smoother.
