PJSC "Myrhorod Mineral Water Plant" Confirms Compliance with Highest Global Standards: Successful Certification under FSSC 22000

Food and beverage production demands the highest level of responsibility, as it directly impacts the health and safety of millions of consumers. We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone: PJSC "Myrhorod Mineral Water Plant" (MMWP) has successfully passed the certification procedure according to the international standard FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification 22000).

Obtaining this certificate is not merely a formal confirmation, but the result of a comprehensive, painstaking effort by the entire plant team—a process that required substantial resource allocation, deep operational analysis, and a thorough transformation of management systems.

What is FSSC 22000 and Why Does It Matter?
FSSC 22000 is a globally recognized certification scheme for Food Safety Management Systems, fully endorsed by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). It combines the requirements of the international standard ISO 22000, sector-specific Pre-requisite Programs (PRPs), and additional scheme-specific requirements.
FSSC 22000 certification ensures that an enterprise rigorously controls all potential hazards—from raw water source protection and borehole management to bottling, storage, and distribution of the finished product.

Key Benefits of FSSC 22000 Certification:

1. Consumer Safety Guarantee: Systematic control across all stages of the production cycle minimizes any risk of physical, chemical, or biological hazards entering the final product.
2. International Recognition & Market Expansion: A GFSI-recognized certificate opens doors to partnerships with major international retail chains and facilitates global export opportunities.
3. Optimized Internal Operations: Standardizing procedures streamlines operational workflows, reduces waste, and enhances resource efficiency.
4. HACCP-Based Risk Management: The organization transitions from reactive troubleshooting to proactive hazard prevention.
5. Enhanced Stakeholder Trust: The certificate serves as unquestionable proof of a strong food safety culture and responsible business management.

Special Highlight of the Audit: International Witness Audit
This certification process was distinguished by an important highlight: a Witness Audit was conducted during the assessment, involving European colleagues who evaluated the performance of our Ukrainian lead auditor on-site.
Following this rigorous assessment, the international observers emphasized:

• High Professionalism of the Ukrainian Auditor: Our specialist demonstrated exceptional expertise, impartiality, and a thorough understanding of the standard.

• Strong Leadership and Top Management Commitment: The genuine involvement and hands-on engagement of executive leadership in driving the safety management system were particularly praised.
• State-of-the-Art Infrastructure: Advanced automated bottling lines, modern facilities, and a superior sanitary environment fully meet top global standards.
