ISO 22000
WHAT IS ISO 22000?
ISO 22000 is an international standard that defines the requirements of a food safety management system covering all organizations in the food chain from "farm to fork". ISO 22000 is an International Standard for FSMS (Food Safety Management System). This standard is generic in nature and can be applied to organizations of any type, size, and nature. This international standard ISO 22000, can be implemented by any organization within the Food Supply Chain irrespective of whether it has direct or circumlocutory involvement. ISO 22000 is a highly efficient combination of auditable requirements of the Food Safety Management System. It is a combination of the HACCP Plan, prerequisite programs, and operational pre-requisite programs. Hazard analysis is the first step of the Food Safety Management System as it involves the identification of all hazards, analysis of the significance, and determining treatment methods required to establish an effective combination of control measures. All hazards including the ones expected to occur in the food chain due to the type of facility or processes are identified, assessed, and actions are taken.
