Richardsons awarded FSSC 22000 certification from the National Standards Authority of Ireland.

Richardsons, the fresh food wholesaler, has achieved FSSC 22000 Food Safety System Certification, one of the highest obtainable food safety standards globally.

The FSSC 22000 Standard, which is certified by the National Standards Authority of Ireland and is fully recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), demonstrates that the Limerick company has a robust food safety management system in place.

"The FSSC 22000 Certification is testament to our commitment to the quality, safety and well-being of both our customers and consumers across Ireland," said Matthew Richardson, managing director of Richardsons.

“We’ve grown this business from strength to strength over 40 years while always focusing on our core values. We always stay true to sourcing and supplying the highest quality, freshest food from our family of trusted people, food producers and partners.

Richardson expects the certification to further strengthen the company's offering to corporate workplace kitchens.

There are currently over 50 companies in Ireland certified to FSSC 22000 by NSAI. Richardsons were the 49th company to achieve certification since its introduction.
Geraldine Larkin, CEO of NSAI, said: "Achieving FSSC 22000 certification provides key assurance to companies such as Richardsons and their customers in relation to the quality of their product.

"It provides confidence that food safety management systems are not only robust but also benchmarked against the highest standards in the industry. Taking this approach prepares a food business to take on everyday challenges.”

Since its establishment in 1972, Richardsons has become the food supplier to some of Ireland’s leading hotels, restaurants and corporate catering companies.
