ISO 22000 · FOOD SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System Certification

ISO 22000 is the international standard for managing food safety systematically and providing safe food to consumers.

01

Overview

What is ISO 22000?

ISO 22000 is an international food safety management system for effectively controlling food safety hazards that may arise throughout the food chain. It prevents food safety risks across production, processing, distribution and sale, and assures safe food.

ISO 22000 builds on a quality management system and incorporates HACCP principles. Integrating the two lets organizations achieve quality management and food safety at the same time.

Background

To meet consumers' expectations of food safety, companies practise voluntary food safety management that prevents and controls hazards at their sites — and this is expanding to the whole food supply chain.

  • Building and operating a food safety management system
