Guidance on the FSSC scheme with respect to PAS 223 section 16: storage and
transport
Storage and transport are not part of the FSSC scope as a stand alone activity. However
manufacturers have to address it in cases where it is part of the organizations own process
and when they have agreements with external transport and storage companies. CBs have
to review if the manufacturer has addressed this effectively. The PAS 223 covers
requirements for storage and transport and to ensure related food safety risks are addressed
effectively in the manufacturer’s food safety management system and that CB’s cover this in
the audits.
