Key to the FSMS Vocabulary

A term in a definition or note which is defined elsewhere in this FSMS vocabulary is indicated by
boldface and text highlighted in yellow followed by its entry number (ISO standard, PAS, CAC,
reference documents, and their clause numbers source) are in parentheses.

Such a boldface term may be replaced in the definition by its complete definition.
For example:

correction (ISO 22000, 3.13)
action to eliminate a detected nonconformity (ISO 9000, 3.6.2)

nonconformity (ISO 9000, 3.6.2)
non-fulfilment of a requirement (ISO 9000, 3.1.2)

requirement (ISO 9000, 3.1.2)
need or expectation that is stated, generally implied or obligatory

If the term nonconformity and requirement are replaced by its definition, as follows

correction then becomes action to eliminate a detected non-fulfilment of a need or
expectation that is stated, generally implied or obligatory

A concept limited to a special meaning in a particular context is indicated by designating the subject
field in angle brackets, , before the definition.
For example:

protective security (PAS 96, 2.6)
<food defense> all the measures related to physical, electronic and personnel security (PAS 96, 2.4)
which any organization (ISO 22005, 3.10) takes to minimize the threat of malicious attack

Terms defined within a box, , served as alternative meaning to a previous definition.
For example:

hygiene (ISO/TS 22002-4, 3.10)
food packaging PRPs set of measures taken to ensure the food safety of a product that might
otherwise become hazardous or harmful

hygiene (ISO 14159, 3.11)
<safety of machinery> taking of all measures during product handling, preparation and
processing to ensure its suitability for use by humans or domestic animals

This 5
th
revision encompassed recently published terms and definition for the FSSC 22000
certification scheme; ISO 22004:2014 FSMS- Guidance on the application of ISO 22000; ISO/TS
22002-4:2013 PRPs for food packaging manufacturing, etc.

A

action limit / action criterion (ISO 22004, 3.3)
<FSMS> measurable or observable criterion established for the monitoring of a control measure
applied as an oPRP (ISO 22000, 3.9)

Note 1 to entry: An action limit or criterion expresses whether or not the control measure is under control, and distinguishes
between what is acceptable (limit met or achieved means the control measure is operating as intended) and unacceptable
(limit not met nor achieved means the control measure is not operating as intended).

active ingredient (GlobalGAP, 03)
pesticide or pharmaceutical drug that is biologically active

Some pesticides and medications may contain more than one active ingredient/substance

adulteration (NCFPD)
<food fraud> a component of the finished (food) product is fraudulent

EXAMPLE: melamine added to milk

According to USDA, a (food) product is considered adulterated if:
it bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render it injurious to health
it bears or contains any added poisonous or deleterious substance
any filthy, putrid, or decomposed, or otherwise unfit food [including if it achieved this during handling]
the product of a diseased animal or of an animal which has died other than by slaughter
its container [package] is composed, in whole or in part, of any poisonous or deleterious substance
any valuable constituent has been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted therefrom
damage or inferiority has been concealed in any manner
any substance has been added thereto or mixed or packed therewith so as to increase its bulk or weight, or reduce its
quality or strength, or make it appear better or of greater value than it is
it bears or contains a color additive which is unsafe within the meaning of this section

aspect (ISO PAS 99, 3.1)
<IMS> characteristic (ISO 20006, 3) of an activity, product (ISO 22005, 3.1) or service that has or can
have an impact (PAS 99, 3.4)

NOTE 1 See PAS 99, A.4.3.2 (identification and evaluation of aspects, impacts, and risk) for additional
explanation of this concept

NOTE 2 A significant aspect (PAS 99, 3.1) has or can have a significant impact (PAS 99, 3.4)

B

biocide (GlobalGAP, 16)
a chemical substance or a microorganism used to manage, mitigate, or remove any harmful
organisms via chemical or biological methods

There are two primary categories of biocides: (1) pesticides (e.g. fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, algicides,
moluscicides, miticides and rodenticides) and (2) antimicrobials (e.g. germicides, antibiotics, antibacterials, antivirals,
antifungals, antiprotozoas and antiparasites)

biosecurity (GlobalGAP, 19)
a set of preventative measures taken to protect from infectious diseases, quarantined pests, invasive
alien species, and living modified organisms

Mortality due to diseases and decreased production due to infections are major factors for economic loss but also a serious
food safety concern for the consumers

biosecurity plan (GlobalGAP, 18)
a written document addressing potential pathways for the introduction and spread of disease in a
zone or compartment, and describing the preventative measures which are being or will be applied
to mitigate the chemical and biological risks

The plan also describes procedures to ensure that the risks are regularly re-assessed and the measures adjusted
accordingly

3.3]

cleaning in place [CIP] (PAS 221, 3.3)
<food retail PRPs> system that cleans solely by circulating and/or flowing chemical detergent

economic, psychological and governance

contaminant (ISO/TS 22002-1, 3.2 / ISO/TS 22002-2, 3.4 / ISO/TS 22002-3, 3.4 / ISO/TS 22002-4,
3.3 / PAS 221, 3.5 / PAS 222, 2.2 / EN 15593, 3.1)
<PRPs> any biological ([for EN 15593] including microbiological) or chemical agent, foreign matter or
other substances not intentionally added to (food or feed) which may compromise food safety (ISO
22000, 3.1) or suitability [CAC/RCP 1, 2.3]

NOTE Measures for prevention of malicious contamination are outside the scope of this PAS (ISO/TS 22002-1,
ISO/TS 22002-4, PAS 221, & PAS 222). For further information and guidance on approaches to the protection of
food businesses from all forms of malicious attack see PAS 96

NOTE 2 In the context of ISO/TS 22002-3, the term foreign matter refers to physical contaminants

NOTE 3 This definition is similar to the definition of food safety hazard (ISO 22000, 3.3) given in ISO 22000:2005.
In fact, in the context of ISO 22000:2005, food safety hazards are identified during the hazard analysis, after
the establishment of PRPs. Consequently, the term contaminant is used in this Technical Specification (ISO/TS
22002-3)

contamination (ISO/TS 22002-1, 3.1 /ISO/TS 22002-3, 3.3 / ISO/TS 22002-4, 3.4 / PAS 221, 3.6 /
PAS 222, 2.3 / EN 15593, 3.2)
<PRPs> introduction or occurrence of a contaminant (ISO/TS 22002-1, 3.2) in food or food environment
[alternative for ISO/TS 22002-3, 3.3] in food, feed or in food and feed environment

[NOTE Adapted from CAC/RCP 1, 2.3]

NOTE [for ISO/TS 22002-4] In the context of this Technical Specification, contamination may also refer to the
impurities in the materials used in, or a decomposition or reaction product formed during, the production process,
which might compromise food safety
in the content of this PAS contamination may also refer to the introduction of non intentionally added
substances (NIAS) (see PAS 223, 3.13)

contingency planning (PAS 99, 3.2)

enable the organization to operate as normally as possible

control measure (ISO 22000, 3.7)
<FSMS> action or activity that can be used to prevent or eliminate a food safety hazard (ISO 22000,
3.3) or reduce it to an acceptable level [NOTE Adapted from CAC- Basic texts on food hygiene]


MK 21999 Page 5

Control Points (CP) (GlobalGAP, 42)
those measurable issues associated with the implementation of good agricultural practices
(GlobalGAP, 84) throughout the farming business

Within the GlobalGAP standards, control points are classified as major musts (GlobalGAP, 111), minor musts (GlobalGAP,
117), or recommendations (GlobalGAP, 161)

<FSMS> action to eliminate a detected nonconformity (ISO 9000, 3.6.2)

NOTE 1 For the purposes of this International Standard (ISO 22000), a correction relates to the handling of
potentially unsafe products, and can therefore be made in conjunction with a corrective action (ISO 22000,
3.1.4)

NOTE 2 A correction may be, for example, reprocessing, further processing, and/or elimination of the adverse
consequences of the nonconformity (such as disposal for other use or specific labelling)

corrective action (ISO 22000, 3.14)
<FSMS> action to eliminate the cause of a detected nonconformity (ISO 9000, 3.6.2) or other
undesirable situation

NOTE 1 There can be more than one cause for a nonconformity (ISO 9000, 3.6.5)

NOTE 2 Corrective action includes cause analysis and is taken to prevent recurrence

counterfeiting (NCFPD)
<food fraud> Intellectual Property Rights infringement, which could include all aspects of the
fraudulent product and packaging being fully replicated

EXAMPLE: copies of popular foods not produced with same food safety assurances

critical control point [CCP] (ISO 22000, 3.10)

a deviation at a critical control point (ISO 22000, 3.10) which results in a hazard occurring

critical limit (ISO 22000, 3.11)
<FSMS> criterion which separates acceptability from unacceptability

NOTE 1 Adapted from CAC- Basic texts on food hygiene

NOTE 2 Critical limits are established to determine whether a CCP (ISO 22000, 3.10) remains in control. If a
critical limit is exceeded or violated, the products (ISO 22005, 3.1) affected are deemed to be potentially unsafe

critical limits (GlobalGAP, 50)

<PRPs> reduction, by means of chemical agents and/or physical methods, of the number of micro-
organisms in the environment, to a level that does not compromise food safety (ISO 22000, 3.1) or
suitability [NOTE adapted from CAC/RCP 1, 2.3]

document (ISO 9000, 3.7.2 / PAS 99, 3.3)

a combination thereof.

NOTE 2 A set of documents, for example specifications (ISO/TR 10013, 4.9) or records (ISO 9000, 3.7.6), is
frequently called documentation

NOTE 3 Some requirements [(SO 9000, 3.1.2) (e.g. the requirement to be readable) relate to all types of
documents, however there can be different requirements for specification (e.g. the requirement to be revision
controlled) and records (ISO 9000, 3.7.6) (e.g. the requirement to be retrievable)

E

Economically Motivated Adulteration [EMA] (NCFPD)
<food fraud> the fraudulent, intentional substitution or addition of a substance in a product for the
purpose of increasing the apparent value of the product or reducing the cost of its production. EMA
includes dilution of products with increased quantities of an already-present substance to the extent
that such dilution poses a known or possible health risk to consumers, as well as the addition or
substitution of substances in order to mask dilution

[NOTE] The corollary concept of economically motivated misbranding is when an act specifically meets the US Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act definition of misbranding and not adulteration

electronic security (PAS 96, 2.1)
<food defense> procedures (ISO 9000, 3.4.5) used to protect electronic systems from sources of

food defense (GlobalGAP, 71)
activities associated with protecting food supply (ISO 22000, 3.3) from intentional contamination
(food defense refers to intentional, sporadic, and plausible but unknown threat)

food defense (USFDA)
<food defense> the collective term used by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), US
Department of Agriculture (USDA), US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), etc. to
encompass activities associated with protecting the nation's food supply from deliberate or
intentional acts of contamination or tampering. This term encompasses other similar verbiage (i.e.,
bioterrorism (BT), counter-terrorism (CT), etc.)

food fraud (NCFPD)
the deliberate and intentional substitution, addition, tampering, or misrepresentation of food, food
ingredients, or food packaging; or false or misleading statements made about a product, for
economic gain

[NOTE] Food fraud is a broader term than either the economically motivated adulteration (EMA) defined by the US Food
and Drug Administration (USFDA) or the more specific general concept of food counterfeiting. Food fraud may not include
adulteration or misbranding, as defined in the US Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), when it involves acts such
as tax-avoidance and smuggling. The economic motivation behind food fraud is distinctly different from those for food
safety, food defense, and food quality. The cause of an event might be food fraud, but if a public health threat becomes
involved, the effect is an adulterated product and a food safety incident. All of this is under the umbrella of food protection,
which encompasses food fraud, food quality, food safety, and food defense


MK 21999 Page 9

Three types of public health risks can result from food fraud:
Direct food fraud risk occurs when there is an immediate or imminent risk to the consumer, such as the inclusion of an
acutely toxic or lethal contaminant
Indirect food fraud risk occurs when the consumer is put at risk through long-term exposure, such as the build up in the
body of a chronically toxic contaminant through the ingestion of low doses. Indirect risk also includes the omission of
beneficial ingredients, such as preservatives or vitamins
Technical food fraud risk is non-material in nature. For example, food documentation fraud occurs when product
content or country-of-origin information is deliberately misrepresented

food grade (ISO/TS 22002-1, 3.8 / PAS 221, 3.11)
<PRPs> lubricants and heat transfer fluids formulated to be suitable for use in food processes where
there may be incidental contact between the lubricant and the food

food handler (ISO/TS 22002-2, 3.8)
catering PRPs any person who directly handles packaged or unpackaged food, food equipment
and utensils, or food contact surfaces and is therefore expected to comply with food hygiene
requirements

food handling (ISO/TS 22002-2, 3.9)
catering PRPs any operation in the preparation, processing, cooking, packaging (EN 15593, 3.7),
storage, transport, distribution and service of food

food ingredient (ISO/TS 22002-2, 3.11)
catering PRPs any substance, including food additives, used in the manufacturing or preparation

food packaging (ISO/TS 22002-4, 3.7)
food packaging PRPs any product to be used for containment, protection, handling, delivery,
storage, transport and presentation of food

NOTE 1 to entry: Food packaging may have direct or indirect contact with the food
Direct food contact surfaces or materials are in contact (i.e. physically touching the food or in contact with the
headspace) or will be in contact with the food during normal use of the food packaging
Indirect food contact surfaces or materials are not in direct contact with the food during normal use of the food
packaging, but there is the possibility for substances to be transferred into the food
The classification of the food packaging as direct or indirect food contact should be part of the hazard analysis

food packaging hazard (ISO/TS 22002-4, 3.8)
food packaging PRPs biological, chemical or physical agent in food packaging, or condition of
use, with the potential to cause an effect in the food leading to adverse health effects

food packaging withdrawal (ISO/TS 22002-4, 3.9)
food packaging PRPs removal of non-conforming food packaging from any part of the food
supply chain because the food packaging does not meet specified food safety standards or
requirements

EXAMPLE: Any part of the food supply chain includes trade warehouses, distribution centres or customer operations and
warehouses

food protection (NCFPD)
<food fraud> an overall concept that includes prevention, intervention, and response for incidents in
food quality, food safety, food fraud, and food defense

food retail establishment (PAS 221, 3.12)
<food retail PRPs> any building or area under the control of the owner or designated person-in-
charge, including the contents, and the contiguous land or property (surrounds), in which food is
stored, prepared, packaged, served, vended, or otherwise provided as food for human consumption
[Adapted from Codex Alimentarius, 2.3 and US FDA Code, 1.2]

food retail premises (PAS 221, 3.13)
<food retail PRPs> physical building under direct full or partial control of the retailer


MK 21999 Page 10

food safety (ISO 22000, 3.1)
<FSMS> concept that food will not cause harm to the consumer when it is prepared and/or eaten
