ISO 22000:2018

FOOD SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CERTIFICATION

As the demand for food products increases internationally, each country now has their own legal and regulatory requirements for different products. Farmers, manufacturers and retailers alike need to comply to these requirements if they want to distribute their products in that country. From a consumer point of view, food safety, nutritional labelling and hygiene are just a few of the concerns they have when purchasing a food product.

So how do we convince a country's regulatory body that our product is of good quality and is safe for their citizens? How do we convince consumers that our product is safe for them and their family?

ISO 22000:2018 certification covers all the processes in the food chain that impact the safety of the end product. The standard specifies the requirements for a comprehensive food safety management system, as well as incorporating the elements of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP). ISO 22000:2018 creates a single food safety standard that harmonizes the various national standards into one easy-to-understand set of requirements that are simple to apply and recognized around the world. This internationally recognized food safety standard can be used by all organizations in the food supply chain from farming to food services, processing, transportation and storage through packaging to retail.

Integrated System

For those with other management systems in place, the ISO 22000:2018 food safety management system can easily be integrated with the other recently revised ISO management system standards such as ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 because they share a similar high-level structure (HLS), identical core text, and terms and definitions.
