ISO 22000 — Food Safety Management Systems
A practical, internationally recognized approach to reducing and eliminating food safety risks — protecting consumers and conveying confidence to your stakeholders.
What is ISO 22000?
ISO 22000 focuses on the needs of organizations within the food chain. It contains traditional quality-assurance preventive measures plus preventive food-safety measures, providing a practical approach to ensure the reduction and elimination of food safety risks as a means to protect consumers.
The standard outlines best practices that deliver results and convey confidence — to your organization and its stakeholders alike. That confidence is demonstrated through the internal audit process and, in particular, the external audit process.
