Market requirements
| Market | Minimum | Premium channel |
|---|---|---|
| USA | FDA FSMA PCQI | FSSC22000 (Whole Foods, Costco) |
| EU | HACCP-based system | FSSC22000 or IFS / BRC |
| Japan | HACCP (mandatory 2021.6) | FSSC22000 (大手 retailers) |
| SEA | HACCP | HACCP often sufficient |
Korean factory certification distribution
- HACCP: nearly all processed food factories (mandated by MFDS)
- FSSC22000: large enterprises (CJ, Daesang, Nongshim, Dongwon) + select mid-size OEM specialists
Mandating FSSC22000 immediately shrinks your candidate pool. Confirm buyer entry channel first, then specify certification.
