Hazard control
Use a structured approach to identify and control food-safety hazards.
Food Safety Management System
Strengthen food safety across the supply chain.
Standard overview
ISO 22000:2018 combines management-system requirements with food-safety hazard control for organizations that participate directly or indirectly in the food chain.
The standard is designed to support a managed system of policies, responsibilities, controls, evidence and improvement. Certification should reflect the organization’s actual scope and activities rather than a generic description.
Management value
Results depend on how effectively the organization implements and maintains its management system.
Use a structured approach to identify and control food-safety hazards.
Define communication with suppliers, customers and relevant parties.
Maintain information that supports traceability and response activities.
Connect food-safety objectives, responsibilities and performance review.
