What is ISO 22000:2018?
ISO 22000:2018 is the internationally recognized standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS). It provides a comprehensive framework for organizations involved in the food chain to identify, control, and reduce food safety hazards.
The standard combines key elements of ISO management systems with the principles of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), promoting risk-based thinking, effective communication, traceability, and continuous improvement throughout the supply chain.
ISO 22000 is applicable to all organizations in the food sector, including producers, processors, packaging companies, transporters, distributors, retailers, and even equipment and ingredient suppliers.
Achieving ISO 22000 certification demonstrates your organization’s commitment to delivering safe food products, protecting consumers, and complying with regulatory and customer requirements.
