VCU Roasting Factory Achieves ISO and FDA Certification

Proudly certified with ISO 22000:2018 and FDA for U.S. export, VCU roasting factory is committed to product quality, strict production processes, and raising food safety and hygiene standards in every coffee bean we deliver to our customers. ISO and FDA certifications are among the most stringent and reputable standards in the global food and coffee export industry.

Why Coffee Roasting Facilities Need ISO 22000 & FDA Certification for U.S. Export

Obtaining ISO 22000:2018 and FDA certification is essential for any roasting facility that aims to grow its export operations, especially to strict markets like the United States. These are not just legal requirements, but also commitments to quality and safety—enhancing brand value and enabling sustainable business growth.

Ensuring Food Safety – A Mandatory Requirement for International Markets

ISO 22000:2018 – Food Safety Management System

This international standard, issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), is based on HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) principles, combined with management system requirements.

ISO 22000 helps control food safety risks throughout the supply chain—from raw materials to finished products—preventing contamination and ensuring traceability.

In the roasted coffee sector, this certification proves that a roasting facility:

• Operates under strict hygiene control processes

• Can trace all raw materials, additives, and packaging

• Delivers products that are safe for consumers

Having ISO certification significantly strengthens the facility’s competitiveness in the export market.

FDA Registration (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)

The U.S. is one of the largest coffee-consuming markets in the world and imposes extremely strict import requirements.

The FDA mandates that all food processing facilities—including roasted coffee producers—must:

• Be registered with the FDA

• Comply with strict regulations on hygiene, processing, storage, and product labeling

Without an FDA registration number, a coffee roasting facility cannot legally export to the U.S.—products may be held at port or destroyed.

Opening Doors to International Markets – Especially the U.S.

Holding both ISO 22000:2018 and FDA certifications offers Vietnamese roasted coffee a powerful opportunity to access the U.S. market. It demonstrates a commitment to quality and safety, building trust with importers and buyers, and reducing shipment inspection and approval times.

Enhancing Reputation & Competitiveness of Coffee Roasting Enterprises

These certifications prove that the business:

• Has a professional production capacity

• Operates a modern management system

• Delivers consistent products that meet global standards

ISO- and FDA-certified businesses are often prioritized for large-scale export contracts and can easily expand B2B cooperation with international roasters, coffee chains, and retail distributors in the U.S.

Meeting Traceability & Transparency Requirements

Today, consumers and importers demand transparency in sourcing, production, and food safety. ISO 22000 enables:

• Full traceability from raw material input to packaging

• Evidence that products are free of microbial contamination, heavy metals, and chemical residues
