ISO 22000 Food Safety Management

Overview

ISO 22000 is a set of guidelines that help you to set out and manage a Food Safety Management System (FSMS) in the workplace. ISO 22000 implements processes and procedures that will help businesses to identify, monitor, reduce and prevent food safety hazards at any stage of the food chain, and helping your business deliver safe and healthy food to your customers. This globally recognised standard complies with the Codex HACCP Principles and has regulatory approval.

The adoption of a food safety management system (FSMS) is a strategic decision for an organization that can help to improve its overall performance in food safety. The potential benefits to an organisation of implementing a FSMS based on this document are:

• the ability to consistently provide safe foods and products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements;
• addressing risks associated with its objectives; and
• the ability to demonstrate conformity to specified FSMS requirements.
