Benefit of using ISO 22000 Certification (12/12/2013)

What is ISO 22000?

The ISO 22000 family of International Standards addresses food safety management. The consequences of unsafe food can be serious and ISO’s food safety management standards help organizations identify and control food safety hazards. As many of today's food products repeatedly cross national boundaries, International Standards are needed to ensure the safety of the global food supply chain. The ISO 22000 family contains a number of standards each focusing on different aspects of food safety management.

Benefit of ISO 22000:

• ISO 22000 helps organizations:
• Embed and improve the internal processes needed to provide consistently safe food
• Provide confidence to the organization and the management team that the organization’s practices and procedures are in place and that they are effective and robust
• Provide confidence to customers and other stakeholders (through the ISO 22000 certification process) that the organization has the ability to control food safety hazards and provide safe products
• Provide a means of continual improvement that ensures that the food safety management system is reviewed and updated so that all activities related to food safety are continually optimized and effective
• Ensure adequate control at all stages of the food supply chain to prevent the introduction of food safety hazards
