ISO 22000:2018 is an internationally recognized standard designed for organizations in the food industry to establish a robust Food Safety Management System (FSMS). It integrates the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) with management system requirements, ensuring food safety at every stage of the supply chain.

The standard applies to all food-related businesses, including producers, processors, manufacturers, storage facilities, distributors, retailers, and even food-related service providers. It helps organizations identify potential hazards, implement preventive measures, and establish monitoring systems to ensure food safety and regulatory compliance.

Implementing ISO 22000 improves consumer confidence, strengthens brand reputation, and opens opportunities in international markets where certification is often a prerequisite. It also enhances operational efficiency, reduces risks of contamination, and ensures traceability across the supply chain.

Certification demonstrates a company’s commitment to providing safe food products consistently, complying with global standards, and contributing to public health protection.
