FSSC 22000 for Beverages, Bottled Water & Packaged Foods

Ambient-stable producers — water, soft drinks, snacks, canned and dry goods — need GFSI-grade food safety for retail and export. We build it.

What this sector needs

Producers of ambient-stable products — bottled water, soft and energy drinks, snacks, confectionery, canned goods, sauces, dry mixes and oils — depend on packaging integrity, water treatment, foreign-body control and process validation rather than the cold chain. Retail listing and export almost always require a GFSI-recognised standard.

FSSC 22000 is the standard most large buyers ask for in this segment. We build the ISO 22000 management system, add the FSSC sector prerequisites and additional requirements, and prepare your site for a successful certification audit.

Which certification fits you

Most businesses climb the same ladder. We help you certify at the level your buyers and regulators actually require — no more, no less.

HACCP

A documented hazard analysis with critical control points — the food safety foundation and the basis for Dubai Municipality food registration.

Start · DM registration

ISO 22000

A full food safety management system: HACCP plus prerequisite programmes, management commitment and continual improvement.

Structured FSMS

FSSC 22000

ISO 22000 plus sector-specific prerequisites and extra requirements — GFSI-recognised and accepted by global buyers.

Retail listing & export

Your readiness checklist

The core elements an auditor will expect to see. We prepare and implement all of it with your team.

Hazard analysis for the full process and packaging line
Water treatment and quality monitoring (critical for water/beverage)
Foreign-body controls: metal detection, glass/brittle-plastic, filters
Process validation (thermal, carbonation, fill integrity)
Food-fraud (TACCP/VACCP) and food-defence assessments
Traceability, shelf-life and recall procedures

How we get you certified

Four stages from first assessment to a successful certification audit. We build and run the system with you; an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

Gap assessment

We benchmark your current practices against the standard and DM requirements, and map exactly what is missing.

Build the system

We develop your HACCP plan, prerequisite programmes and FSMS documentation around your real process.

Internal audit & readiness

We train your team, run an internal audit and close gaps so you walk into the audit prepared.

Certification audit

An accredited certification body audits and issues the certificate. We support you through both stages and any findings.

Frequently asked questions

Why do beverage and bottled-water plants need FSSC 22000?
Supermarkets and export buyers generally require a GFSI-recognised certificate, and FSSC 22000 is the most widely accepted for ambient-stable manufacturing. It also adds the food-fraud and food-defence elements major retailers now expect.
Which food safety scope does my business fall under?
Water, beverages, snacks and shelf-stable packaged foods fall in the manufacturing scope for ambient-stable products. We confirm the exact scope so every line is in certification.
Does CorpBridge issue the certificate?
No. We prepare and implement your food safety management system and get your team audit-ready. The certificate itself is issued by an accredited certification body after a successful audit — keeping the consultancy and certification roles properly separate.
Is ISO 22000 enough, or do I need FSSC 22000?
ISO 22000 is a solid management system, but it is not GFSI-recognised on its own. If your buyers ask for a GFSI certificate, FSSC 22000 is the upgrade — built on the same ISO 22000 base, so the step up is efficient.
