What is ISO 22000?

ISO 22000:2018 specifies the requirements for a Food Safety Management System (FSMS). It combines the HACCP principles with prerequisite programmes and a management-system structure to control food safety hazards across the supply chain.

Applicable to any organization in the food chain — from producers and processors to packaging, transport and retail — it gives buyers and consumers confidence that food safety is managed end to end.

  • HACCP-based — systematically analyze and control food safety hazards.
  • Whole-chain scope — applies to every organization in the food supply chain.
  • Consumer trust — deliver products that are safe for their intended use.
