Vaman,

Welcome to the forums.

This has been discussed quite often in the past. Decision of choosing a GFSI certification is mostly driven by your customer requirements (requiring a specific type of certification). A good source of to drive your decision is to check with your big volume customer/s.

Both of the standards has similarities (in most areas) and different approach (in a few). 

(IMO BRC requires more risk analysis and risk assessments as compared to FSSC)

Dear Vaman Nayak,

Nice to meet you on the IFSQN forum. Welcome here!

Please note, that a new version for ISO 22000 came out this year (ISO 22000:2018). 

The advantage is that ISO 22000 and BRC are globally recognized schedules (GFSI). As FSQA stated, you will firstly need to look at your customer requirements and export markets, to see what they are expecting from you.

Kind regards,
