The latest version which is Version 6 - will have a 12-month transition window to allow organizations to prepare for the new Version and certification bodies for implementation and gaining accreditation. The first audits to Version 6 will commence from 01 April 2024 onwards, and all organizations must complete the V6 upgrade audit before 31 March 2025.
One of the challenges that the food industry faces is failures leading to product recalls, withdrawals and loss of production. Many of these issues relate to people and the food safety culture in which they operate - where organisations face challenges in developing and maintaining positive and sustainable food safety culture. The recently published PAS 320 provides practical guidance and information on where to start, what to do, how to measure and sustain continuous improvement of an organization’s culture of food safety.
In this live webinar, our thought leaders will be sharing insights and discuss the following topics:
- FSSC 22000 version 6 – the changes and what you need to do to implement - Elsabe Matthee, Technical Director, FSSC
- The next steps: What you need to do to implement and how BSI can support your journey - Leanne Singleton, Principal Food Safety Specialist, Foodsure
- PAS 320 – A practical guide to a culture of food safety – Todd Redwood, Managing Director
