FSSC Development Program Version 2.0 for Risk Managers
What does FSSC Development Program Version 2.0 require of a Risk Manager?
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 Risk Manager'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 Risk Manager
Risk Managers identify, assess, and prioritise organisational risks. They build risk registers, conduct risk assessments, define risk appetite, and ensure that compliance frameworks address the most material threats to the organisation.
FSSC Development Program Version 2.0 defines 71 controls across 8 domains that directly affect the Risk Manager role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
