ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System Standard

The ISO 22000 standard provides a framework based on best practices for any organization, from a small, family-owned farm to a multi-national food service outlet, to implement an effective food safety management system (FSMS). A FSMS can be implemented by businesses all along the food supply chain, including: agricultural producers, caterers, equipment and packaging manufacturers, food and ingredient manufacturers, packers, retailers, transport, logistics and storage providers, and Wholesalers.

What Is ISO 22000?

ISO 22000:2018 is an internationally recognized standard that outlines the requirements for a Food Safety Management System (FSMS). This standard is essential for organizations across the food supply chain, as it provides a robust framework to identify, manage, and mitigate food safety hazards. By adhering to these guidelines, organizations can ensure that their food products are safe for consumption and meet the necessary safety regulations.

Who Developed ISO 22000?

Authored by a panel of experts from the ISO subcommittee SC 17, which focuses on management systems for food safety, ISO 22000:2018 encapsulates the latest knowledge and practices in food safety. This ensures that all recommendations reflect current challenges and advancements in the food industry.

Who Can Benefit from ISO 22000?

This standard is particularly beneficial for small businesses involved in food production, service, or distribution, including:

Family-owned farms
Small food manufacturers
Food packaging companies
Local caterers and restaurants
Food retailers and wholesalers

Regardless of size, any organization that handles food or animal feed can implement ISO 22000:2018 to enhance their food safety processes.
