🌾 What is ISO 22000?

ISO 22000:2018 is the global standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS). It combines the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) with ISO’s management system approach, making it a powerful tool for any organization in the food supply chain.

Whether you're a farmer, processor, transporter, packager, retailer, or restaurant—ISO 22000 ensures food safety hazards are identified, controlled, and communicated at every step.

♾ Part of a Powerful ISO Family

ISO 22000 aligns with ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 14001 (Environmental) standards, allowing for a seamless integrated management system.

It's also compatible with other food safety schemes like FSSC 22000 and GFSI-recognized models, making it easier for you to meet multiple requirements through one robust system.

🔹 Built on the 7 Quality Management Principles
