Hi Everyone,

 

Some latest news for those interested in the FSSC 22000 Certification Scheme, a new complete ISO 22002 PRP series is due to be published by April or May of 2025. The revised ISO 22002 series will include a new foundational document, Part 100, which outlines general requirements applicable across all sectors. Also, an ISO 22000 review process is in its early stages, with a new revision expected to in early 2027. See details below.

 

From FSSC 22000 Website: FSSC Contributes to ISO Standard Revisions in Peru

'From 28 October to 1 November, FSSC’s Technical Director, Elsabe Matthee, and Manager of Quality & Safety, Kelly Mulholland, attended ISO meetings in Lima, Peru. The gathering brought together experts from around the world to work on essential updates to the ISO PRP standards and initiate the review of ISO 22000—crucial standards that underpin Food Safety Management Systems across industries.'

 

Working Group 11: Finalizing the New ISO PRP Standards

'The revised ISO 22002 series will include a new foundational document, Part 100, which outlines general requirements applicable across all sectors. This document will be supported by sector-specific parts (Parts 1-7). One of the most notable additions is Part 7, which introduces new standards for the Retail and Wholesale sector. ISO anticipates publishing the complete ISO 22002 series by April or May of 2025, although the transition timeline for organizations to adopt these changes is yet to be determined.'

 

Working Group 8: Beginning the ISO 22000 Review

'The middle of the week marked the start of discussions in Working Group 8 regarding the review of ISO 22000. This review aims to bring the standard up to date with emerging global food safety trends and industry requirements. Key topics discussed, included:

Evaluating the impact of the New CODEX Requirements: The group will evaluate how recent updates to the CODEX standards will influence ISO 22000.

Food Fraud, Food Defense, and Food Safety Culture: to address evolving food industry risks.

Supplier Approval and Continuous Improvement: Enhancing these processes will help drive transparency, accountability, and resilience across the food supply chain.'

The ISO 22000 review process is in its early stages, with the revised standard expected to be released by early 2027.

 

Kind regards,

More info from ISO on PRP Development:

 

ISO 22002-100 are the common PRP’s from the prior sector specific series ISO 22002-1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 merged here to being a unified understanding of PRP’s across sectors and simplify PRP’s for organizations operating in multiple sectors. Where unique sector specific PRP’s remain, or new sector may be added with unique PRP’s, these are provided in short separate specific ISO standards to be used in conjunction with ISO 22002-100.
