B2B standards and schemes
Available standards & schemes
• Many certifications & audits related to food safety areimposed by retailers on different markets
• Year after year, retail owned schemes are updated with further requirements. Their scope tends to grow, from food safety to environmental criteria, and others
...
• The Food industry suffers from a multitude of audit/certification schemes and formats, and needs
Harmonization and stakeholders consultation
� on common grounds and objectives, no sense to multiply efforts and costs
-> a cost-efficiency issue
How do standards compare?

Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmark
Goal: a single, open system
• Transparency -> access to retail global market� make Q/FS manual online available to customers
� make requirements available to suppliers
• Risk assessment -> address EU-Codex rules� level of attention to individual suppliers/details dependent on risk
analysis
• Use of “customer requirements” -> no multiple schemes
� specific requirements, to be agreed between supplier and customer, to be covered within (not: additional to) ISO 22000/PRP
->an efficient, transparent, auditable way to make requirements carry through and ensure true chain management
ISO 22000:2005
About ISO 22000
Pros:
� can be applied by the whole food chain (manufacturers/suppliers/co-manufacturers/licensees alike)
� owned by standard organization
� supported by ~ 140 countries
� auditable globally through reputable certifiers
� can be integrated with ISO 9001, ISO 14001certification(to cover the entire Food Quality-Safety spectrum)
Cons:
� still a “hollow shell” … -> something had to be done ->
Our solution
Since GFSI recognized that a ‘Pre Requisite Program’ – Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) chapter was missing from ISO 22000,
• CIAA drafted a PRP-GMP doc, based on company know-how and Codex Alimentarius
• BSI (British Standards Institute), then ISO standardized this doc-> PAS (Publicly Available Specification) 220:2008 -> ISO/TS 22002-1:2009
• FSSC 22000 certification scheme was then developed, in order to integrate ISO 22000+PAS 220
• GFSI recognized FSSC 22000 as equivalent to its own Guidance doc, Rev- 5 (23 Feb. 2010)

Food industry GMP’s (2)
From the past present ...
1) Quality management (company policy): ISO 9001 certification
2) UK: BRC certification
3) Germany/France: IFS certification
4) Holland/Denmark: NL/DK-HACCP certification
5) Sale of by-products as animal feed: GMP+feed cert.
� other possible audits: public controls and “ad hoc” export
certificates, customs controls, customers audits, Halal (US$2tn
market), Kosher
