The FSSC 22000 Version 6 is the most recent update to the globally recognized Food Safety Management System certification scheme. Published in March 2023 by the Foundation FSSC, it introduces enhanced requirements to strengthen food safety, transparency, and sustainability across the supply chain.

This version became mandatory for all certification audits starting 1 April 2024, replacing Version 5.1. Certified organizations are required to transition to Version 6 by 31 March 2025, ensuring that their food safety systems remain compliant with the latest international expectations and industry best practices.

Key changes in Version 6 include updates on food fraud and food defence, stricter requirements for product labelling, warehousing, cross-contamination prevention, and more robust verification of prerequisite programmes. These revisions are designed to build greater confidence in the safety and integrity of food products worldwide.
