What is ISO 22000?
Irrespective of their scale or product range, every food producer bears the responsibility of ensuring the safety of their products and the health of their consumers. This responsibility underscores the significance of ISO 22000.
The repercussions of unsafe food can be severe. ISO’s food safety management standards enable organizations to pinpoint and mitigate food safety risks, while harmonizing with other ISO management standards like ISO 9001. Applicable to all producer categories, ISO 22000 instills confidence throughout the global food supply chain, facilitating the seamless movement of products across borders and ensuring consumers receive food they can rely on.
ISO 22000 establishes the criteria for a food safety management system, which organizations can seek certification for. It delineates the actions an organization must take to validate its capacity to manage food safety risks and guarantee the safety of food products. This standard is applicable to organizations of any size or position within the food supply chain.
