ISO 22000:2018 (FOOD SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM)
With other international management system standards, such as ISO 9001, the ISO 22000 standard is compatible and harmonised. Integrating it with already-in-place management systems and procedures is ideal.
All businesses involved in the food value chain, whether directly or indirectly, should use ISO 22000. Producing packaging or detergents, offering cleaning services, pest control, or commercial laundry services are all included in this. In terms of food safety and the management of food safety hazards, it enables assessment and shows conformity of the product. Using these widely acknowledged key components, the standard guarantees food safety from farm to fork:
• An innovative and crucial component of risk management is interactive communication. An organised information flow both internally and externally. It ensures efficient risk management.
• Principles of HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points): The basic methodology to plan secure production processes that are suitable for each individual business, without needless red tape.
• System management: Keeping tabs on how the various components of the system interact ensures the system's effectiveness and efficiency.
• Good manufacturing practises, good hygiene practises, good agricultural practises, as well as maintenance procedures and programmes for buildings and equipment, and pest control programmes, are the foundational elements of a HACCP system.
