Consumers are becoming more and more concerned about food safety. From tainted milk to contaminated peanut butter, food scares and recalls have been ever-present over the past several years. Extended global supply chains and lack of adherence to global safety standards are partly to blame. As manufacturers and retailers make efforts to address deficiencies in their supply chains, and multiple safety standards and schemes are proposed and adopted, progress is being made to ensure global food safety. FSSC 22000 contains a complete certification scheme for Food Safety Systems based on the food safety standard ISO 22000:2005 'Requirements for any organization in the food chain' and ISO/TS 22002-1:2009 Prerequisite programs on food safety for food manufacturing.

Outbreak of serious food borne illness continue unabated in many parts of the world, which have highlighted the need for an effectiveness food safety assurance system, incorporating the experience of implementing HACCP system. The HACCP system has gained national and international endorsement as a cost effective means for ensuring food safety. The HACCP system which is science based and systematic identifies specific hazards and measures for their control to ensure the safety of food. HACCP is a tool to assess hazards and establish control measures that focus on prevention rather than relying mainly on end product testing. HACCP can be applied throughout the food chain from the primary production to final consumption. Besides enhancing food safety, implementation of HACCP can provide other significant benefits and promote international trade by increasing confidence in food safety.
