Sote Salt has successfully obtained the Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) 22000 certificate.

Following the successful on-site audit and recommendation by a third-party authoritative certification body in December 2021, Chongqing Sote Salt & Chemical Co., Ltd. officially obtained the FSSC22000 certification certificate on February 15, 2022. This marks a significant step forward for the company in advancing its food safety management toward international standards.

In June 2021, in order to align with the global trend of food safety management and meet the requirements of high-quality food production and processing partners, the company officially launched the implementation of the FSSC22000 food safety system. Over the past six months, the company has carried out a series of preparatory activities—including training sessions conducted jointly by external experts through theoretical lectures and on-site management guidance, preparation of food safety system documentation and its effective integration with existing system documents, self-inspections and corrective actions, and on-site improvements—thus making thorough preparations for successfully passing the certification audit by an authoritative third-party organization.

From December 15 to 18, 2021, an audit team from a third-party certification body conducted an on-site audit of our company’s food safety system to verify its effective operation. The audit covered all departments, positions, and operational stages in great detail. After four days of document review and on-site inspections, the auditing experts highly praised the company’s ability to achieve effective operation of the newly implemented FSSC22000 food safety system within a relatively short period of time and unanimously recommended that our company pass the FSSC22000 food safety system certification audit.

On January 11 and February 15, 2022, the company obtained the electronic and paper versions of the certificate, respectively, with certificate number CQM22FSSC00002. Obtaining the FSSC22000 certification will help enhance the brand reputation of the company’s salt products in international markets and further strengthen the company’s competitiveness in the global market.
