ISO 22000 is an international standard that outlines the requirements for a food safety management system. It helps organizations in the food supply chain ensure that their products are safe for consumption. The standard integrates principles from HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and other management systems to create a comprehensive approach to food safety.
By implementing ISO 22000, companies can identify and control food safety hazards, improve communication along the supply chain, and enhance customer satisfaction. This standard is applicable to all organizations involved in food production, processing, and distribution, regardless of their size or complexity.
