FSSC 22000
The Foundation for Food Safety Certification was founded in 2004. The Foundation developed FSSC 22000 based certification scheme for certification of food manufacturers.

FSSC 22000 requires that a company is certified to the ISO 22000 as well as PAS 220 to earn an FSSC certification designation.
BRC
The Global Standard for Food Safety was first developed in 1998 to enable suppliers to be audited by third party Certification Bodies against a single consistent standard. Built on the principles of clear risk based requirements, informative report format and auditor competence, the Standard has continued to develop and evolve with input from a wider base of international stakeholders including retailers, caterers, food manufacturers and Certification Bodies.
This standard is key to any EU – European Union company, but is also becoming very recognized in the US as an emerging Food Safety Standard. BRC has been accepted by the GFSI (The Consumer Goods Forum).
