ISO 22000 Food Safety Management Systems

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 22000:2018 is available

With a greater focus on risk-based thinking and aligned to ISO’s high level structure, the new ISO 22000 Food Safety Management Systems can deliver additional benefits to organizations of all sizes throughout the food chain:

• Improved control over food safety activities

• Customer, statutory and regulatory compliance

• Facilitated market growth

• Increased customer, stakeholder and consumer confidence in products

• Improved risk management

• Integration with other ISO management systems

Organizations currently certified to ISO 22000:2005 will have three years to transition to the new standard.
