Novozymes has announced that it has obtained Food Safety System Certification 22000 (FSSC 22000) for a wide range of its enzymes targeting bakery and other food sectors. The Enzyme supplier said customers are seeking documented evidence of food safety and FSSC 22000 certification provides that level of assurance and transparency about a certified third party’s products. The FSSC 22000 standard combines the ISO 22000:2005 Food Safety Management standard with the Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 220:2008/ Technical Specification ISO/TS 22002-1 Prerequisite programmes on food safety — Part 1: Food manufacturing. FSSC 22000 secured full approval from standards benchmarking body the Global Food Safety Initiative in February.
Novozymes Marie-Anne Bie Fryeendahl is quoted as saying:“The trigger for the certification move was requests from bakery and other food sectors for GFSI backing of our food safety management system. It was not a time consuming process, as we already had most requirements of the standard already in place. The FSC 22000 auditing procedure took five days due to the fact that Novozymes has been continually honing its management system and had already included definitions and guidelines for operators in relation to each step of the manufacturing process from raw materials to transport and equipment.”
Marie-Anne Bie Fryeendahl added that “The whole food supply chain benefits from having a small range of acknowledged standards, where the individual supplier can adopt the standard best suited to its way of working.”
