In today’s globalized food industry, ensuring food safety at every stage of the supply chain is not just a responsibility—it’s a necessity. ISO 22000 is the internationally recognized standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS). With the help of QIS, your company can achieve ISO 22000 certification and align your processes with global best practices in food safety.
Introduced in 2005, ISO 22000 is applicable across the entire food chain—from farm to fork. Its core objective is to prevent food contamination, reduce hazards, and harmonize food safety standards across global supply chains.
What is ISO 22000?
ISO 22000 provides a structured framework for managing food safety risks and integrating systems such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points). It emphasizes proactive measures to detect and control potential threats to food safety, ensuring that food is safe for consumers and compliant with international regulations.
By implementing ISO 22000, companies can:
- Identify, assess, and control food safety hazards
- Maintain transparency and traceability throughout the supply chain
- Prevent foodborne illnesses and injuries
- Ensure internal food safety competence and awareness
Who Needs ISO 22000 Certification?
ISO 22000 applies to all organizations involved in the food supply chain, including but not limited to:
- Food and feed manufacturers
- Packaging producers for food items
- Storage and distribution companies
