FSSC 22000 Practice Test (Version 6)

The FSSC 22000 Practice Test (Version 6) is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests knowledge of the FSSC 22000 certification scheme, Version 6 — how the scheme combines ISO 22000 with sector prerequisite programmes and its own additional requirements, the additional requirements themselves (food defence, food fraud, allergens, environmental monitoring, food safety and quality culture, labelling, food loss and waste and more), and the audit, nonconformity and integrity rules — written to the FSSC 22000 Scheme Version 6, ISO 22000:2018 and the ISO/TS 22002 series for 2026. Builds on our ISO 22000 test. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable FSSC 22000 Readiness certificate (SOA-FSSC). Every question is based on published standards and research — including FSSC 22000 Scheme Version 6 (additional requirements, clause 2.5) (Foundation FSSC), ISO 22000:2018 Food safety management systems (International Organization for Standardization), ISO/TS 22002 series: Prerequisite programmes on food safety (International Organization for Standardization) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Score 70% or more and you get a FSSC 22000 Readiness certificate straight away, on screen, as a PDF and by email, with a credential ID anyone can verify.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: FSSC 22000 Scheme Version 6 (additional requirements, clause 2.5) (Foundation FSSC); ISO 22000:2018 Food safety management systems (International Organization for Standardization); ISO/TS 22002 series: Prerequisite programmes on food safety (International Organization for Standardization). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Scheme Structure and Certification (Components, Scope and categories and Certification cycle); Core System: ISO 22000 and PRPs (Hazard control, PRPs and Management system); FSSC Additional Requirements (Food defence and fraud, Allergens and environment and Culture, labelling and waste); Audits, Nonconformities and Communication (Audit process, Nonconformity grading and Communication duties). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Food safety team leader, QA or technical manager, FSSC 22000 internal auditor, Food safety consultant and Packaging or ingredient supplier quality lead. It suits anyone who wants a quick, verifiable way to show FSSC 22000 knowledge in 2026 and 2027, from students and career switchers to experienced professionals.

Three parts: ISO 22000:2018 (the food safety management system), the sector prerequisite programme standard (such as ISO/TS 22002-1 for food manufacturing), and the FSSC 22000 additional requirements set out in the scheme. Together they form a GFSI-recognised scheme.

Version 6, published in 2023, added or strengthened requirements on food safety and quality culture, food loss and waste, communication, quality control, equipment management, allergen management and environmental monitoring, and updated the audit rules.

You see your score for each area and every question with the correct answer and why, with the published source behind it. You can retake after 30 minutes, and the retake draws questions you haven't seen yet.

No. Every certificate is dated, so it always shows when you passed. Retake a test any time for a newer date or a higher score.

Every certificate has a credential ID and a QR code. Scanning it, or entering the ID at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/, shows the holder's name, the certification, the score and the issue date from our records.

No. They are Science of Apps' own assessments of applied skill. They aren't issued by a university or standards body, and they work best alongside a portfolio that shows the skills in real work.
