FSSC 22000 V7 Food Safety System

Got a retail opportunity? Preparing for export? Getting ready for certification?

You may already have a good product.

The next problem is often the food-safety system behind it.

De Villiers Chocolate built its food-safety management system as the business moved into major retail and larger-scale manufacturing.

If this system could be useful to your business, use “Request Details & Samples” to tell me what you’re looking for. I’ll review your enquiry and send the relevant product information and sample documents where the package is a suitable fit.

The factory achieved FSSC 22000 certification in 2017.

That system has since been sanitised and extensively updated for FSSC 22000 Version 7.

Who is it for?

Secured a retail opportunity

The base package is designed for chocolate and confectionery manufacture. It brings together editable procedures, records and supporting implementation material, organised through a master index and a Buyer Implementation & Customisation Guide. You adapt the relevant material to your own products, premises, equipment and processes. The requested information pack explains the full package scope and the implementation work required.

Becoming retail-ready

Move from informal food-safety controls toward a structured management system.

Preparing for export

Build the documented controls, traceability and management-system structure expected from a more mature food manufacturer.

Preparing for FSSC certification

Start with a comprehensive system and adapt it to your own operation.

You still make it your system.

You need to adapt it to your:

  • company
  • products
  • factory
  • equipment
  • suppliers
  • hazards
  • people
  • legal and customer requirements

The advantage is that you do not first have to design the entire system yourself.

Historical FSSC certification relates to the original De Villiers Chocolate manufacturing operation. The current package does not itself confer certification.
