Making the transition

www.22000-Tools.com

HACCP to GFSI
Many food manufacturers have HACCP and GMPs in place
Now, customers are asking for a GFSI recognized Food Safety Management System Certification

How does a company make the transition?

www.22000-Tools.com

HACCP to GFSI
Find the right certification scheme for you:
FSSC 22000: Worldwide recognition, and quickly growing in popularity. For food manufacturers, this scheme is defined in the two standards: ISO 22000 and PAS 220 SQF 2000: For food manufacturers, processors, distributors and brokers, this scheme is defined in the SQF 2000 Standard. ISO 22000: This is not a GFSI recognized scheme (outside of its use in the FSSC scheme) but applies to all organizations in the food chain.

This shows the relationship of GFSI and some commonly used certification schemes. GFSI is not a certification scheme, but recognizes the benchmarked standards.

HACCP to GFSI
A company with HACCP and GMPs already in place will need to:
Implement the Management System processes and procedures Compare current GMPs with requirements for Prerequiste Programs (PRPs) and bridge any gaps Compare the current HACCP program with requirements and bridge any gaps

Implementing the Management Systems Processes and Procedures

The management systems processes are used to manage food safety issues throughout the organization, and go above and beyond controlling hazards through HACCP and GMPs.
One example of this is communication. The standards include requirements for effective communication of food safety issues to those up and down the food chain.

Implementing the Management Systems Processes and Procedures

Many companies that have HACCP and GMPs in place may not have defined communication processes in place. Another example is requirements for Management Responsibility. The standards involve top management by including responsibilities that must be handled by top management.
See an example of an SQF 2000 Management Responsibility Procedure

Companies seeking certification will need to implement the management systems processes.
