Sabinsa’s four Sami Labs manufacturing sites in India were recently audited by the licensed Certification Body, Bureau Veritas Certification Holding SAS – UK branch, and achieved Foundation Food Safety System Certification 22000 (FSSC 22000). FSSC 22000 replaces the previous ISO 22000: 2005 – FSMS (Food Safety Management System) achieved by these Sami facilities till 2018.
“Although we have a number of country-specific certifications, harmonized standards certification is important because we sell our ingredients throughout the world,” said Sabinsa founder Dr. Muhammed Majeed. “And FSSC is appropriate, as our ingredients are increasingly used in functional food and beverage products, and in several countries herbal products are regulated as a class of foods.”
