Food Safety Rules Are Changing – Here’s What to Know

Food safety standards like FSSC 22000 v6 and IFS Food v8 are regularly updated to reflect emerging risks, evolving supply chains, and increased regulatory scrutiny. These revisions go beyond surface-level changes. They’re shaping how audits are conducted and what organizations need to prove. 

Today’s certifications require more attention in areas like allergen control, food fraud prevention, and sustainability practices. As expectations rise, certification bodies and food businesses must become more agile, proactive, and data-driven to stay compliant and competitive.  

Challenges Facing the Industry

One major hurdle is managing complexity. With each standard update comes new documentation, expanded audit scopes, and higher expectations for transparency. Many organizations still rely on disconnected systems or manual processes, which can lead to inefficiencies, delays, and even compliance risks. 

Common industry-wide challenges include: 

  • Time-consuming audit processes 
  • Data overload without clear, actionable insights 
  • Struggling to stay current with evolving requirements 

These issues highlight the growing need for integrated, digital-first solutions that can streamline workflows, reduce manual effort, and improve decision-making.
