Food Safety Management System

Food Safety Management System

ISO 22000 is a standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization dealing with food safety. This is a general derivative of ISO 9000. Food safety is linked to the presence of food-borne hazards in food at the point of consumption. Since food safety hazards can occur at any stage in the food chain it is essential that adequate control be in place. Therefore, a combined effort of all parties through the food chain is required. The ISO 22000 international standard specifies the requirements for a food safety management system that involves the following elements:

interactive communication
system management
prerequisite programs
HACCP principles
The most effective food safety systems are established, operated and updated within the framework of a structured management system and incorporated into the overall management activities of the organization. This provides maximum benefit for the organization and interested parties. ISO 22000 has been aligned with ISO 9001 in order to enhance the compatibility of the two standards.
ISO 22000 can be applied independently of other management system standards or integrated with existing management system requirements.

ISO 22000 food safety standard requirements

ISO 22000:2005 specifies requirements for a food safety management system where an organization in the food chain needs to demonstrate its ability to control food safety hazards in order to ensure that food is safe at the time of human consumption.

ISO 22000:2005 specifies requirements to enable an organization

to plan, implement, operate, maintain and update a food safety management system aimed at providing products that, according to their intended use, are safe for the consumer,
to demonstrate compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory food safety requirements,
to evaluate and assess customer requirements and demonstrate conformity with those mutually agreed customer requirements that relate to food safety, in order to enhance customer satisfaction,
to effectively communicate food safety issues to their suppliers, customers and relevant interested parties in the food chain,
to ensure that the organization conforms to its stated food safety policy,
to demonstrate such conformity to relevant interested parties, and
to seek certification or registration of its food safety management system by an external organization, or make a self-assessment or self-declaration of conformity to ISO 22000:2005.
