SQF 10 and FSSC 22000 v7 raise the bar on evidence. See what’s changing, what failure costs and what readiness looks like from the factory floor to the boardroom. This year we’ve experienced another increase in the standards that food and beverage businesses are expected to meet under GFSI’s now enforceable 2024 benchmarking requirements.

This webinar will dissect SQF Edition 10, FSSC 22000 v7 and the higher threshold for evidence when it comes to food safety culture, change management, environmental monitoring and more.

In this webinar:

We’ll focus on dissecting SQF Edition 10 and FSSC 22000 v7 and the higher threshold for evidence when it comes to:

Food safety culture: a measurable requirement in SQF 10, and a combined food safety and quality culture in FSSC v7.
Change management: a new formal clause in SQF 10, requiring food safety impact to be assessed and documented when operations change.
Environmental monitoring: risk-based and tied to hazard analysis in SQF 10, and also a feature of FSSC v7.
Corrective action: in SQF 10, repeat findings escalate to majors.
Competency: training that demonstrates competency in SQF 10, and food defense and fraud competence in FSSC v7.
Prerequisite programs and suppliers: ISO 22002:2025 prerequisite programs, supplier controls and measurable food loss and waste objectives in FSSC v7.

Join us for a 30-minute session where our food safety specialists will walk through the key changes in both standards, set out what failure can cost using published figures, and give you a live platform walkthrough of how Ideagen Food & Beverage maps to these requirements, from culture and change records to monitoring, corrective action, supplier checks and audit evidence.

Whether you are a Quality Director, Food Safety Manager, Technical Supply Chain Manager or a CFO, COO or even CEO, you will leave with a clearer view of what each standard asks for and the business risks in plain terms.
