Are you duplicating your food safety management audits?
Complex supply chains can mean multiple, parallel requirements for suppliers and lead to duplicate systems, audits and paper work.
Yet, there are many similarities in the requirements of so many food safety and quality standards. SGS Single Food Audit Pack is a set of solutions that help to meet the requirements of most internationally recognized food safety or quality standards with a single audit.
PACK 1: ISO 9001 + ISO 22000
This solution addresses the requirements of ISO 22000 and ISO 9001 leading to certification where appropriate against both standards. It’s a cost-effective way to cut disruption without adversely impacting the quality and safety objectives in any way. As a result of the audit, you get a single report and a single set of conclusions covering your food safety and quality management systems.
Who could benefit from Pack 1?
If you are a company looking for both quality (ISO 9001) and food safety management system certification (ISO 22000) then Pack 1 is the right solution for you. You may be an ISO 9001 certified company within food supply chain, or one who is considering ISO 22000 certification or perhaps you are already certified against both standards separately. In all these cases, the SGS Single Food Audit Pack 1 could be a real asset to your business.
What are the benefits of Pack 1?
SGS Single Food Audit Pack 1 benefits your organisation in multiple ways:
- Provides a more cost-effective service delivery through a single audit *
- Causes less disruption; you can diary a single audit for multiple standards
- Makes it simpler and easier for senior management to review the management systems through the single audit report
- Assists internal alignment of different management systems thus improving efficiency

How are audits conducted?
Our Single Food Audit Pack audits are conducted by a multi-skilled auditor team qualified to be lead auditors for both quality and food safety. The auditor team assesses the management systems against ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 within a single audit for every visit (initial assessment, surveillance and renewal audits).
If your organisation is already ISO 9001 certified, the ISO 22000 audit can be combined with the existing ISO 9001 visit and cover the two audit needs with a single audit. Subsequent single audits are then carried out at the agreed interval.
