ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management Systems
Implement a comprehensive food safety management system combining HACCP principles, prerequisite programs, and interactive communication across the food supply chain.
What is ISO 22000?
ISO 22000 is an International Standard for FSMS (Food Safety Management System). This standard is generic in nature and can be applied to organizations of any type, size, and nature within the food supply chain, irrespective of whether it has a direct or indirect involvement.
ISO 22000 is a highly efficient combination of auditable requirements combining the HACCP plan, prerequisite programs, and operational prerequisite programs. Hazard analysis is the first step, involving identification of all hazards, analysis of significance, and determining treatment methods required to establish an effective combination of control measures.
The standard integrates the principles of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system developed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, combining the HACCP plan with prerequisite programmes through auditable requirements.
