The starting point

The standard requires internal audits. It doesn’t hand you the checklist.

FSSC 22000 version 7 requires you to audit your FSSC 22000 food safety system at planned intervals. Rebuilding the audit checklist from scratch every cycle wastes time and misses requirements. This file gives you the questions, the evidence to sample and a scored result you can present to management.

What you get

Exactly what’s inside

A sample of the “Detailed checklist” tab. Each row turns a requirement into an audit question with the evidence to sample.

File structure

Four tabs that work together

1

Dashboard

Overall conformity rate, number of open gaps, breakdown by status. Everything updates as you fill in the checklist.

2

Detailed checklist

One row per requirement: the point to check, the expected evidence, the owner and a status drop-down.

3

Summary

Charts generated from your entries: score by clause and status breakdown, ready to present to management.

4

Action plan

Each gap becomes a dated, assigned action, tracked to closure and ready for your audit.

Free vs complete

What the free list doesn’t give you

A free requirements list tells you what the standard asks. This checklist turns it into a working control tool.

How it works

Three steps, from where you are to done

Step 1

You prepare

The checklist covers every requirement as an audit question, so nothing is left out of the audit plan.

Step 2

You audit

You record conformity and findings on site. The dashboard scores the result as you go.

Step 3

You report

Each finding becomes a tracked nonconformity, ready for management review and follow-up.

Audit plan → On-site audit → Findings → Corrective actions

Coverage

ISO 22000 + sector PRPs + FSSC additional requirements

FAQ

What to know before you buy

Does this checklist replace the FSSC 22000 documentation kit?
No. The checklist diagnoses your gaps and structures your action plan. To provide the documents that close those gaps, the FSSC 22000 documentation kit takes over.
What format is the checklist delivered in?
An Excel (.xlsx) file, downloadable immediately after purchase. It works offline; you keep it and reuse it as often as you need.
Does the conformity score calculate itself?
Yes. You pick a status per requirement from a drop-down, and the dashboard and charts update automatically.
Which version is it built on?
The version in force, FSSC 22000 version 7, shown on the cover.
Can I reuse it for every audit cycle?
Yes. Duplicate the file for each cycle; you keep a scored, dated record of every internal audit and can show the trend to management.
