ISO 22000
About ISO 22000
ISO 22000 is a globally recognized standard that outlines the requirements for a food safety management system (FSMS) applicable to any organization operating in the food supply chain, from farm to table.
The standard is based on principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). It covers various aspects of food safety management, such as planning, management commitment, resource management, product realization, measurement, analysis, and improvement. ISO 22000 is designed to be adaptable to the unique needs of organizations in the food industry, regardless of their size, location, or scope of operations.
By adopting ISO 22000, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to food safety, streamline their processes, mitigate the risk of foodborne illnesses, and meet regulatory requirements. The standard can also help organizations build trust with customers and stakeholders by ensuring their food products are safe and high-quality. Furthermore, ISO 22000 certification can improve an organization’s reputation and provide a competitive edge in the market.
Does your company need it?
Any organization involved in the food supply chain, from farm to fork, can benefit from implementing ISO 22000. This includes food manufacturers, processors, packers, retailers, distributors, catering services, and organizations that provide support services to the food industry, such as equipment manufacturers and cleaning services. The standard applies to organizations of all sizes, regardless of their location or type of operation. It can be particularly beneficial for those operating in countries with stringent food safety regulations or exporting food products to other countries.
