Step 6: Certification Audit

When the day of your Certification Audit has arrived, it is time to showcase your Food Safety Management System (FSMS). The Auditor or Auditors will be arriving to see how you have addressed the requirements of 22000, and how you have designed your Food Safety Management System.

The Certification Body that you choose will audit your facility and your FSMS, review records and documentation, follow processes, and talk to employees and management to determine if your 22000 system meets requirements and works to ensure a safe product.
