The Foundation for Food Safety Certification was founded in 2004. The Foundation developed FSSC 22000, the ISO 22000 and PAS 220 based certification scheme for certification of food manufacturers. This development is supported by the Confederation of the Food and Drink Industries of the European Union (CIAA). The scheme is recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).
The Foundation also legally owns the GFSI approved HACCP food safety systems certification scheme. As a nonprofit organization the Foundation facilitates and owns the scheme and manages its copyright with license agreements. The actual responsibility and authority for the content of the scheme and the delivered certification audits is the Board of Stakeholders, represented by the relevant stakeholders of the food supply chain. Furthermore the Foundation facilitates the NTWG GlobalGap.
Besides the copyright management the Foundation also: focuses on the international compliance and adaptability of Food Safety Standards
focuses on the development and maintenance of certification and inspection systems for Food Safety
promotes the international use of these Food Safety systems
provides services to support the certification of Food Safety systems
provides information on Food Safety issues
