The FSSC 22000 food safety standard is for organizations of any size or complexity in the food-feed supply chain, including manufacturers of all food and beverage types, ingredients/additive manufacturers, pet and animal feed manufacturers, and packaging manufacturers.
ISO 22000
The International Standards Organization 22000 certification proves that a food business has implemented a functional food safety management system according to its standards. These standards include requirements to ensure that your FSMS comprehensively covers the entire food supply chain (ISO 22000:2018), enables the traceability of ingredients and food products in that chain (ISO 22005:2007), and that you can effectively implement it (ISO 22004:2014).
FoodDoocs aligns with the objectives and benefits of ISO 22000. With the help of our smart food safety compliance software, establishing a monitoring program based on a comprehensive food safety system is simple. Powered by artificial intelligence, our system will automatically generate customizable monitoring tasks, complete with detailed instructions.
- Internal auditing and gap analysis tools
- Pre-set and customizable monitoring and traceability tasks

HACCP
FoodDocs allows you to become compliant with the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point standard, the most internationally recognized systematic approach to preventing the risk of foodborne illnesses. Once you answer some simple questions related to your food business, in one hour or less you’ll get a comprehensive HACCP plan that will put you on a path not just to compliance, but certification.
You’ll always have complete control to customize your HACCP plan according to your needs, specify Critical Control Point risk levels, as well as update your flow chart, SOPs, and prerequisite programs based on your business operations. FoodDocs also gives you the ability to create, adjust, and complete personalized food safety tasks with ease. With fully customized monitoring tasks, accompanied by educational instructions, you’ll be able to save 20% of your time on supervising with a real-time dashboard that gives you an instant overview (and the ability to do task verification).

- Easily define Critical Control Points based on local food safety regulations
- Automatically set up monitoring tasks (e.g., food temperature logs)
PCP
Similar to the HACCP standard, FoodDocs makes compliance with a Preventive Control Plan (PCP) easy. PCPs are written documents that demonstrate food businesses identify and prevent as well as eliminate or reduce food hazards to an acceptable level. Once your business has the written document, you can digitize and store it in FoodDocs' food safety app along with other critical food safety files.
Businesses that make food for national trade or international export, store and handle imported edible meat products, or slaughter animals all have specific PCP requirements that FoodDocs’ food safety compliance software can help ensure you're meeting with food safety standards.
- Customizable tasks and logs for sanitation, pest control, equipment maintenance, receiving, and more
- Step-by-step instructions for employee training and hygiene
- Food traceability system with task history
PCPs are for businesses that hold a licence to manufacture, process, treat, preserve, grade, package or label food for interprovincial trade; grow or harvest fresh fruits or vegetables for interprovincial trade; hold a licence to import food.
GMP
FoodDocs helps businesses cover every aspect of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines to ensure food safety throughout the manufacturing process. This includes, but is not limited to, creating standard operating procedures, preventing food contamination, as well as establishing allergen, monitoring, and traceability programs.
Performing your daily GMP checks on our digital platform will save quality managers time, eliminate the risk of improper or missed food safety monitoring tasks, and allow businesses to maintain the five components of Good Manufacturing Practices (i.e., People, Processes, Premises, Products, and Procedures or Paperwork).
- Sanitation, hygiene, and pest control logs
- Receiving and transportation logs
- Task verification, record-keeping, and internal auditing
FSMA
FoodDocs simplifies the process of becoming and remaining compliant with all seven of the FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) rules. It’s important to proactively prepare your food business for FSMA compliance by having a food safety plan, preventive and corrective controls, supply chain program, food recall plan, as well as monitoring and verification procedures in place.
This is especially true in light of FSMA 204 (Food Traceability Final Rule), which establishes further requirements for traceability record-keeping when manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding foods included on the Food Traceability List. FSMA 204 compliance will allow businesses to more rapidly identify and remove potentially contaminated food from the market, which means fewer foodborne illnesses and deaths.
With FoodDocs, all of your monitoring programs, critical control components, an overview of your whole manufacturing status, and food safety data are all safely stored in one safe, easy-to-use food safety software.
- Monitoring and verification
- Corrective actions and preventive controls
- Traceability system and recall plan
IFS
FoodDocs helps you stay compliant with another recognized Global Food Safety Initiative called the International Featured Standard (IFS). It’s a certification that enhances brand recognition, establishes or improves consumer safety and confidence, as well as the safety and quality of food products.
Our food safety compliance software satisfies IFS requirements and gives food businesses the ability to accommodate and complete checks related to, for example, Good Manufacturing Practices guidelines.
- Real-time food safety monitoring dashboard
- Customizable tasks with step-by-step instructions

The SQF food safety standard is for all sectors of the food supply chain – from the farm all the way to food & beverage retail stores.
BRC & BRCGS
The British Retail Consortium (BRC) is the leading trade association in the UK that developed the BRC Global Standards (BRCGS). According to the GFSI, the BRCGS certification is one of the longest-running benchmarked standards and ensures that your business is holistically safe from food safety hazards and other key issues in the food industry.
FoodDocs makes it easy for businesses in the food safety, packaging, storage, distribution, and consumer product sectors to comply with and obtain your BRCGS certification.

GAP
Farms and produce handling facilities can ensure and maintain Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) with FoodDocs' food safety compliance system. GAP is a voluntary certification program which verifies that agricultural businesses are practicing sound food safety with the help of an independent third party auditor.
The first step in becoming GAP certified is developing a food safety plan, which is a major reason why our food safety compliance software is a great fit. When your farm or facility implements its food safety plan along with its digitally stored guidelines, policies and standard operating procedures, you schedule a GAP audit. With the built-in FoodDocs Audit feature, you can create one with GAP-specific questions and checks to ensure you’re set up for success when the inspector performs the certification audit.

Frequently asked questions about FoodDocs' Food Safety Compliance software
What is food safety compliance?
Food safety compliance is when a business complies with specific standards that exist to help teams produce safe food, prevent incidents, and more easily navigate the complexities of food safety. Food safety compliance standards include, but are not limited to, HACCP, GMP, GFSI, and SQF.
Which business types can benefit the most from FoodDocs?
FoodDocs software is perfect for production and food service businesses, including those in the healthcare sector. More specifically, central kitchens, ready-to-eat-meals producers, butcheries, bakeries, fisheries, hospitals, care homes, restaurants, cafes, hotels, schools, and catering companies can all benefit from FoodDocs. However, since our Food Safety Management System is fully customizable, it can be easily used by any business that produces, serves, or sells food.
Is digital monitoring compliant and acceptable for food safety inspectors?
Yes, food safety software solutions that enable digital food safety monitoring is compliant with regulations and acceptable for inspectors.
In a December 2023 issue of the journal Food Control, competent authorities (CA) across 15 European Union countries reported that they've incorporated digital environments to some extent during their food safety inspections. In fact, "62.5% (55/88) used a digital environment during inspections, the majority to standardize data collection and reporting. CAs autotomize processes through digital technologies related to the management of official control and generation of inspection results, but to a lesser extent to automatize decision-making during inspections."
Furthermore, the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service's Compliance Guidelines for Use of Video or Other Electronic Monitoring or Recording Equipment, it states: "If an establishment determines and designates a video or other electronic monitoring or recording equipment to record the required HACCP information, this information is to be included as part of its recordkeeping system description."
