Jeju Samdasoo Obtains International Food Safety Standard Certification

Successful Transition to the Latest Version Since Obtaining FSSC22000 Certification in 2014

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] Jeju Samdasoo has successfully transitioned to the latest version of the international food safety standard FSSC22000, once again proving its international-level food safety management system.

Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Development Corporation announced on the 9th that Jeju Samdasoo recently obtained the ‘FSSC 22000 V5’ certification, one of the international food safety standards.

FSSC22000 is one of the international food safety standards approved by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). It is an international food safety standard granted only after meeting the requirements across the entire Food Supply Chain and passing a rigorous audit process. It can be acquired when all nine additional requirements, including sector-specific prerequisite programs, product labeling, food defense, and environmental monitoring, based on the food safety management system, are satisfied.

Because it strictly evaluates the entire food supply chain, it recognizes that quality stability is secured in all processes from raw material receipt to product shipment.

The Samdasoo plant had already obtained FSSC22000 in 2014, and based on the corporation’s commitment to quality and continuous management innovation efforts such as strengthening supply chain stability and improving factory work environments, it successfully transitioned to the latest version.

In particular, this FSSC22000 certification audit was conducted with all employees strictly adhering to personal hygiene rules to prevent the spread of COVID-19, adding significance to food safety management.

Meanwhile, the Samdasoo plant holds numerous global certifications including ISO9001 and NSF in addition to FSSC22000. Through strict quality control and international certifications, it maintains its reputation as the industry leader and is accelerating its entry into the global bottled water market.

Kim Jeong-hak, President of Jeju Development Corporation, said, “Since Jeju Samdasoo is made from clean groundwater, we consider the environment and product quality as core competencies,” adding, “We will become a global brand through endless innovation in quality and environment.”
