FSSC Development Program Version 2.0 for DPOs
What does FSSC Development Program Version 2.0 require of a DPO?
The FSSC Development Program Version 2.0 sets a minimum food safety system (management, prerequisite programmes, HACCP) that FSSC licensed bodies assess every year, with sector rules for transport and storage and for packaging, and the assessment, statement and licensing rules for the bodies. Under FSSC Development Program Version 2.0, which defines 71 controls, a DPO's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which FSSC Development Program Version 2.0 controls land on the DPO
