ISO 22000

ISO 22000 is the international standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS). This standard helps food and beverage organizations ensure that their products are safe for consumption. The main objective is to ensure food safety throughout the supply chain, from raw material producers, processing, distribution, to the end consumer.

ISO 22000 Key Points:

• Food Safety – Reducing the risk of biological, chemical, and physical contamination in food products.

• HACCP Integration – Combining HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) principles with systems management.

• Process Approach – Controlling every stage of the food chain to ensure product safety.

• Regulatory Compliance – Helping companies meet national and international regulations.

• Consumer Trust – Increasing the credibility of food products in the global market.

Benefits of ISO 22000 for companies:

• Minimize the risk of product recalls.

• Improve operational efficiency and risk control.

• Expand export opportunities through international recognition.

• Improve consumer satisfaction and trust.

The latest standard is ISO 22000:2018, which emphasizes a risk-based approach and follows a High-Level Structure (HLS) for easy integration with other standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001.
