FSSC 22000 Certification, reference in Food Safety Management

In the face of the complex global food supply chain, increasing food safety and building consumer confidence is a growing challenge for the food industries.

Seeking to comply with the strictest international standards, Ad Foods was awarded the FSSC 22000 certification, a reference in food safety management. This certification is internationally recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), so we have joined a select group of companies, including the largest and most influential food industries in the world market. In 2021, worldwide only about 26 thousand companies are certified in FSSC 22000, with just over 500 of them in Brazil.

FSSC 22000 is based on the ISO 22000 standard together with prerequisite programs and additional requirements. It comprises all spheres of the production chain and seeks to ensure that the food produced will be safe for consumption. This safety is related to the hygienic-sanitary aspects and hazard control from the selection of suppliers, research and development, training of employees, logistics and safe production, among others.

The certification guarantees that we will always be looking for continuous improvement of our processes and alignment with the best tools in order to increase the effectiveness of the management system. Our challenge is to spread the food safety culture among our employees and partners, reinforcing that food quality and safety are everyone's responsibility.

Obtaining the FSSC 22000 brought many advantages to our customers, as they can be sure that they are purchasing safe products, in compliance with legal requirements, simplifying their supplier approval process. By purchasing ingredients from Ad Foods, our customers ensure the integrity of their product, protecting and enhancing their brand.
