Food

TÜV NORD Vietnam provides certification audits for food and beverage companies, giving customers at home and abroad independent evidence that their food safety controls meet the relevant standard.

Why food safety needs independent certification

Consumers no longer judge food only by taste or price; they expect it to be safe at every stage, from raw materials, processing and packaging to storage, transport and retail. Importers, retail chains and major brands therefore often ask suppliers to prove their food safety controls with a certificate issued by an independent third party.

Certification by a member of TÜV NORD GROUP gives companies objective evidence that their system for identifying and controlling biological, chemical and physical hazards has been audited and meets the standard at the time of audit.

Our food certification services

HACCP certification: based on the seven Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point principles of the Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene (CXC 1-1969), applicable to companies in the food chain and especially to exporters.
ISO 22000 certification: a food safety management system to the international standard ISO 22000:2018, combining HACCP principles, prerequisite programmes and ISO's common management system structure, and easy to integrate with ISO 9001 or ISO 14001.

The scope covers agriculture, food and feed production, catering, wholesale and retail, logistics and storage, as well as packaging, food industry equipment and additives manufacturers. Note: FSSC 22000 is a separate (GFSI-recognised) certification scheme, distinct from ISO 22000 certification.

Frequently asked questions

Should we choose HACCP or ISO 22000 certification?

HACCP focuses on analysing hazards and controlling critical points in the production process. ISO 22000 includes HACCP principles and prerequisite programmes and adds a management system framework, such as policy, objectives, communication along the food chain and continual improvement. The choice depends on customer and market requirements; where customers require a GFSI-recognised scheme, schemes such as FSSC 22000 need to be considered.

Which companies can obtain food safety certification?

Any organisation in the food chain can apply, regardless of size: farms, food and feed processing plants, catering and restaurants, distributors, logistics providers, packaging manufacturers, food industry equipment makers, additive producers and companies providing services to the food industry. Several sites can be covered.
