ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System

What is ISO 22000:2018 FSMS / HACCP Standard?

ISO 22000:2018 specifies requirements for a food safety management system for organizations in the food chain. It provides a structured way to identify and control food-safety hazards, communicate relevant information, manage prerequisite programmes, and apply HACCP principles.

ISO 22000 Overview

ISO 22000 is an international standard that defines the requirements of a food safety management system covering all organizations in the food chain from "farm to fork". The standard brings together recognized management-system and food-safety elements along the food chain, including:

• Interactive communication
• System management
• Prerequisite programs
• HACCP principles

Benefits of ISO 22000 Certification

A well-implemented ISO 22000 system can support:

• Structured identification, evaluation, and control of food-safety hazards
• Integration of prerequisite programmes and HACCP controls
• Defined responsibilities and communication across the food chain
• Traceability, emergency-response, withdrawal, and recall arrangements
• Monitoring, verification, corrective action, and continual improvement
• Evidence for customers and an independent certification-body assessment
