ISO 22000 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for a food safety management system. The standard was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is applicable to all organizations involved in the food chain, regardless of size or complexity.
The ISO 22000 standard covers a wide range of food safety issues, including hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP), food safety management system planning and implementation, food safety policy, communication, and emergency preparedness and response.
To obtain an ISO 22000 certificate, an organization must undergo a certification audit by an accredited third-party certification body. The audit evaluates the organization’s food safety management system and its compliance with the ISO 22000 standard. If the organization meets the requirements of the standard, it can receive an ISO 22000 certificate, which is valid for three years.
The ISO 22000 certification process can help organizations to demonstrate their commitment to food safety, improve their reputation, and meet the expectations of customers, regulators, and other stakeholders. It can also help organizations to identify potential hazards in the food chain and take steps to mitigate them, which can help to prevent foodborne illnesses and other food safety incidents.
