ISO 22000 is an international standard for food safety management. The norm integrates the principles of HACCP, GHP, and GMP, along with elements of quality management. The full name of the ISO 22000 standard is “Food Safety Management System – Requirements for any organization in the food chain.”
This norm is applicable to all businesses across various sectors of the food industry. The implementation of the ISO 22000 standard is encouraged in companies involved in the food chain, spanning from production and processing to packaging, transportation, distribution, and sales.
The aim of ISO 22000 certification is to ensure food safety throughout the entire supply chain. It includes aspects such as:
- Communication in the food chain.
- Management system.
- Hazard control in food (HACCP system requirements).
- Continuous control and improvement of processes.
This standard is recognized and highly valued in the international food market. Our clients with ISO 22000 certification have unlimited opportunities for expansion in foreign markets.
Having ISO 22000 certification is often a prerequisite for companies looking to collaborate with major retail units (e.g., retail chains). Certification can provide your company with an invaluable competitive advantage, enhancing credibility and prestige.
ISO 22000 ensures compliance with international food safety standards. Companies with the ISO 22000 certificate are trustworthy business partners.
