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.
