ISO 22000 (FOOD SAFETY MANAGEMENT)

ISO 22000 is an international food safety management standard for organizations within the food chain. It specifies the requirements for a food safety management system (FSMS) that ensures the ability to control food-related hazards at every stage of the food chain. Prepared by ISO/TC 34, the standard integrates Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles, along with prerequisite programs (PRPs) to ensure food safety from production to consumption. ISO 22000 aims to harmonize global food safety practices and is designed for organizations that seek a comprehensive food safety management system beyond legal requirements. It focuses on interactive communication, system management, and hazard analysis to mitigate food safety risks effectively.

ISO 22000 helps organizations meet food safety-related statutory and regulatory requirements and gain public confidence through robust safety practices. It facilitates better control and documentation of food safety measures, ensuring that food products remain safe for consumption.
