ISO 22000 is an internationally recognized standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS), developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It outlines the requirements for a comprehensive food safety management system that integrates key elements such as interactive communication, system management, prerequisite programs, and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) principles.
Achieving ISO 22000 certification demonstrates an organization’s commitment to identifying and controlling food safety hazards, ensuring that food is safe for consumption throughout the entire food chain—from farm to fork. The standard is applicable to all organizations involved in the food supply chain, including producers, processors, manufacturers, transporters, and retailers.
ISO 22000 enhances food safety, improves customer confidence, supports regulatory compliance, and facilitates global trade by aligning with other key management system standards.
