Who is it aimed at?

FSSC 22000 is aimed at all businesses in the food chain involved in the production, processing and/or standardisation of food, other than primary production, and is an advantage for businesses that, due to their export activities, wish to be certified to a scheme accepted by leading food companies around the world. It is also aimed at businesses whose logistical infrastructure is one of their strengths and who seek to distinguish themselves by taking more demanding measures to ensure the safety of their products.
