FSSC 22000 certification in Ho Chi Minh City at a glance
Tan Thuan's operator lists 15 food and drink investors on its 2026 website, and Hiep Phuoc names food processing among its industries while keeping three seaports inside the park. For a processor or packer in that chain, FSSC 22000 is the certificate a multinational customer is most likely to name. It rests on ISO 22000 for the food safety management system, adds a sector prerequisite-programme specification, and brings further scheme requirements such as food defence and food fraud controls. An accredited certification body audits against all three layers. Sterling's Ho Chi Minh City office maps your site against them, builds the hazard analysis and prerequisite records with your team and prepares you for the certification body's audit.

FSSC 22000 in Ho Chi Minh City: questions clients ask
Which Ho Chi Minh City food businesses are asked for FSSC 22000?
Processors and packers that supply multinational manufacturers, retailers or food-service brands, such as the food and drink investors Tan Thuan lists in 2026 and the food processors at Hiep Phuoc. The customer decides whether it wants this scheme or accepts ISO 22000, so ask for the written requirement first and scope the certificate to match.
How does FSSC 22000 differ from ISO 22000 for a Hiep Phuoc processor?
FSSC 22000 uses ISO 22000 as its base, then adds a sector prerequisite-programme specification and scheme rules, including food defence and food fraud controls. A processor that already runs ISO 22000 therefore extends its hazard and prerequisite records instead of starting again. Check with your customer which version of the scheme it accepts.
