FSSC 22000 Consultancy in Oman

Build a robust food safety management system, meet recognized scheme requirements and prepare confidently for independent FSSC 22000 certification.

Qdot provides professional FSSC 22000 Consultancy in Oman for food-sector organizations that need a structured, internationally recognized food safety certification framework.

For organizations seeking FSSC 22000 Certification in Oman, Qdot provides consultancy and implementation support. The final FSSC 22000 certificate is issued by an independent FSSC-licensed and accredited certification body after successful completion of the applicable certification process.

Our FSSC 22000 consultancy services are available across Oman, including Muscat, Sohar, Salalah, Duqm, Nizwa, Sur, Barka, Rusayl, Samail, Al Buraimi, Ibri, Al Suwaiq, Musandam and other commercial and industrial locations.

What Is FSSC 22000?

FSSC 22000 is a complete Food Safety Management System certification scheme owned by Foundation FSSC. It combines ISO 22000 requirements, sector-specific prerequisite program requirements from the ISO 22002 series, and additional FSSC scheme requirements.

FSSC 22000 is used by organizations across the food supply chain that need a recognized and structured certification framework. The scheme has been benchmarked and recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), which supports acceptance by many multinational food companies, retailers, manufacturers and global supply chains.

FSSC 22000 Version 7 - Current Scheme Status

Foundation FSSC published FSSC 22000 Scheme Version 7 in May 2026. Version 7 is based on ISO 22000:2018, the relevant ISO 22002-x:2025 prerequisite program standards, and FSSC 22000 Additional Requirements.

A transition period is in progress. Audits against Version 6 may continue up to 30 April 2027, while upgrade audits to Version 7 are scheduled from 1 May 2027 through 30 April 2028. Organizations should therefore confirm with their certification body which scheme version applies to the planned audit date and implement the relevant transition requirements.

FSSC 22000 Consultancy and FSSC 22000 Certification Are Different

Qdot is a consultancy company. We help organizations design, implement, improve and maintain the food safety management system required for FSSC 22000 certification.

The final FSSC 22000 certification decision is made independently by an FSSC-licensed certification body operating under the applicable accreditation and scheme requirements. Qdot can support certification-body selection and audit coordination while maintaining a clear separation between consultancy and independent certification.

FSSC 22000 Implementation Process in Oman

1. Initial Consultation and Scope Review

We review products, processes, sites, food-chain category, existing certifications, customer requirements and the target certification timeline.

2. FSSC 22000 Gap Analysis

Qdot assesses the existing food safety system against the applicable FSSC 22000 scheme requirements and identifies gaps in ISO 22000, PRPs and FSSC additional requirements.

3. Food Safety Management System Planning

We prepare a structured implementation plan covering responsibilities, documentation, operational controls, training, verification and milestones.

4. Prerequisite Program Implementation

The organization develops or strengthens practical PRPs for hygiene, cleaning, utilities, pest control, maintenance, personnel practices, waste, storage and other applicable controls.

5. Hazard Analysis and Control Measures

The food safety team reviews hazards, control measures, operational PRPs and CCPs as applicable, along with monitoring, validation, verification and corrective actions.

6. FSSC Additional Requirements

We implement the additional scheme requirements relevant to the certification scope, including areas such as food defense, food fraud, allergens, environmental monitoring, food safety culture and other scheme-specific requirements.

7. Documentation and Records

Policies, procedures, specifications, registers, forms, monitoring records and evidence are aligned so the system can be implemented consistently and audited effectively.

8. Training and Awareness

Employees and responsible managers receive training appropriate to their roles, including food safety awareness, HACCP, PRPs, traceability and FSSC-specific requirements.

9. Practical Implementation and Evidence

The organization operates the system and retains evidence demonstrating that controls are implemented and effective.

10. Internal Audit and Management Review

An internal audit checks conformity and effectiveness, followed by management review of food safety performance, objectives, incidents, complaints, audits, resources and improvement priorities.

11. Certification Audit Readiness

Qdot reviews implementation evidence, closes remaining gaps and prepares the organization for the independent certification audit.

12. Ongoing Support

After certification, Qdot can support surveillance audits, corrective actions, scheme upgrades, internal audits, new products, site changes and recertification.

FSSC 22000, ISO 22000 and HACCP - What Is the Difference?

HACCP is a hazard-analysis methodology used to identify and control significant food safety hazards. ISO 22000 is an international Food Safety Management System standard that combines management-system requirements with food safety hazard control and prerequisite programs.

FSSC 22000 is a certification scheme that builds on ISO 22000, adds sector-specific prerequisite program requirements and includes additional FSSC scheme requirements. For organizations that need a GFSI-recognized certification scheme, FSSC 22000 may be more appropriate than ISO 22000 certification alone, depending on customer and market requirements.
