FSSC Development Program Version 2.0 for IT Directors

What does FSSC Development Program Version 2.0 require of a IT Director?

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.
