PRZOOM - /newswire/ - Houston, TX, United States, 2011/03/25 - A new era of food safety and a new approach to managing risks in your food supply chain - LRQA.com.

A revolution in the way the food manufacturing sector is regulated and assessed is ushering in a new era of food safety. A whole new approach to risk management and quality assurance is achieved with FSSC 22000 certification, and more and more organizations across the food supply chain – from food processors to food retailers – recognize this.

Not surprisingly, the large retailers and manufactures are listening to their customer base and taking action, including Wal-Mart, who has insisted on strict food safety standards not only for its direct suppliers, but for its suppliers’ supply chains as well.

FSSC 22000 certification represents a complete certification scheme for Food Safety Management Systems, and is based on ISO 22000 with additional requirements to cover prerequisite programs for food manufacturers.

“FSSC 22000 certification will play a crucial role in safeguarding food safety throughout the global supply chain,” says Fons Schmid, Chairman of the Board of Stakeholders for FSSC 22000. “It helps ensure safe food manufacturing in all countries and has the support of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) .”
