Importance of certification in mitigating risks

Food safety certifications play a pivotal role in helping the food industry overcome common food safety issues and industry challenges to ensure food quality and safety. These certifications guarantee a robust framework for maintaining uniform policies and practices, rigorous quality standards, and comprehensive control measures while fostering customer trust irrespective of the globalised markets.^[6]

Some of the most common food safety management certifications include:

ISO 22000 – a Food Safety Management System (FSMS) standard
FSSC 22000 – covers processing, manufacturing, and handling of a wide range of foods
IFS Food – for auditing the quality of manufacturer’s processes and products to bring transparency to complex food supply chain
BRC Food Standards – provides global guidelines for safety, quality, and operational criteria for food producers and suppliers
FAMI-QS – a globally recognised certification for speciality feed ingredients and mixtures
HACCP – offers a systematic preventive approach to food safety
SQF – a food safety and quality certification covering all stages of food supply chains
SS 444 – offers a systematic preventive approach to food safety
SS 590 – a standard outlining the framework and requirements for a FSMS
SS 668 – a standard for cold chain management systems of chilled and frozen foods

Implementing and getting certified to these standards can help you mitigate any food safety risks and ensure consistent product quality and safety across borders.
