ISO 22000 is a globally recognized standard for food safety management systems, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It combines the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) with core ISO management system requirements, ensuring food safety across the entire supply chain.

 

The certification helps organizations identify and control food safety hazards, meet legal compliance, and improve process efficiency whether you’re a farmer, food processor, transporter, or food service operator.

ISO 22000 certification is applicable to all organizations involved in the food supply chain. This includes food manufacturers and processors, farmers and primary producers, food transporters, storage providers, packaging and cleaning agent manufacturers, as well as retailers, wholesalers, restaurants, and catering services. Whether your business is focused on growing, handling, packaging, storing, or serving food, ISO 22000 ensures that food safety is systematically managed at every stage of the process.

What sets Food Safety Management Certification (ISO 22000) apart?

Supplier (Vendor) Audits for FSMS (Food Safety Management System):
Supplier audits are conducted to evaluate and ensure that vendors comply with food safety standards and regulatory requirements within the FSMS framework. These audits assess areas such as hygiene practices, raw material quality, traceability, and adherence to fundamental food safety principles. They help identify potential risks in the supply chain, ensure consistency in product quality, and build confidence in supplier reliability. Regular vendor audits also support continuous improvement and strengthen overall food safety assurance.

 

Compliance Audits:
Compliance audits verifies whether an organization adheres to regulatory requirements, standards, and internal policies, helping identify gaps and ensure continuous improvement. Compliance audits mainly cover:

 

  1. HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points):
    A systematic approach to food safety that identifies, evaluates, and controls potential hazards at critical points in the production process to ensure safe food handling.
  2. GHP (Good Hygiene Practices):
    Basic hygiene measures and conditions required to prevent contamination in food production, including cleanliness, sanitation, and proper handling practices.
  3. GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices):
    Guidelines that ensure products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards, covering aspects like equipment, personnel, processes, and environment.
