Key Food Safety Certifications You Must Check When Importing Egg Products
— A Complete Guide for Global Buyers

When sourcing egg products for industrial use, certifications play a crucial role in ensuring product safety, compliance, and supply chain reliability. Whether you operate a bakery factory, meat processing plant, ready‑to‑eat food manufacturer, or large-scale food production facility, choosing a supplier with internationally recognized certifications is essential for minimizing risk and maintaining consistent quality.

As a professional egg powder and egg liquid supplier, our company has obtained a full set of global food safety certifications. This article provides an overview of the most important certifications required in the egg products industry and explains how they guarantee quality for global importers.

1. Core Food Safety Management Certifications

1. ISO 22000 – Food Safety Management System
ISO 22000 is one of the most widely recognized global standards. It covers raw materials, production, sanitation, storage, and transportation.
For egg powder, egg yolk powder, egg white powder, and pasteurized egg liquid, ISO22000 ensures full traceability and safety control throughout the entire process.

2. ISO 9001 – Quality Management System
A fundamental quality standard trusted by international buyers.
ISO 9001 ensures that all production steps follow documented procedures, guaranteeing batch‑to‑batch consistency — a key requirement for large food factories.

3. HACCP – Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points
HACCP is essential for any food product entering international markets.
It focuses on identifying and preventing biological, chemical, and physical hazards.
Most buyers consider HACCP a mandatory requirement for importing egg ingredients.

4. FSSC 22000 – Recognized by Europe, the U.S., and Japan
Built on ISO 22000 with additional requirements, FSSC 22000 is one of the highest-level food safety certifications.
It is commonly required by multinational food brands purchasing egg-based ingredients.

2. Religious and Specialty Compliance Certifications

1. Halal Certification
Required for Muslim markets in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and parts of Africa.
Halal-certified egg ingredients ensure all processes comply with Islamic dietary laws.

2. Kosher Certification
Widely recognized in North America and Europe.
Kosher certification ensures compliance with Jewish dietary regulations and strict facility management standards.

3. Social Responsibility and Ethical Supply Chain Certifications

SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit)
A global standard focused on labor rights, worker safety, environmental protection, and business ethics.
SMETA certification is often required by major international retailers and global food brands.

4. Additional Industry Certifications

1. NSF Certification
Issued by NSF International in the United States, this certification is valued by North American buyers for verifying food-grade manufacturing practices and plant hygiene.

2. Organic Certification
Ensures the products are free from chemical additives and meet organic agricultural standards.
A key requirement for clean-label food manufacturers and premium ingredient buyers.
