ISO 22000 : 2018 (FSMS) Certification

ISO 22000:2018 - FOOD SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS:This document specifies requirements for a food safety management system (FSMS) to enable an organization that is directly or indirectly involved in the food chain:

  • a) To plan, implement, operate, maintain and update a FSMS providing products and services that are safe, in accordance with their intended use;
  • b) To demonstrate compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory food safety requirements;
  • c) To evaluate and assess mutually agreed customer food safety requirements and to demonstrate conformity with them;
  • d) to effectively communicate food safety issues to interested parties within the food chain;
  • e) To ensure that the organization conforms to its stated food safety policy;
  • f) To demonstrate conformity to relevant interested parties;
  • g) To seek certification or registration of its FSMS by an external organization, or make a self-assessment or self-declaration of conformity to this document.

All requirements of this document are generic and are intended to be applicable to all organizations in the food chain, regardless of size and complexity. Organizations that are directly or indirectly involved include, but are not limited to, feed producers, animal food producers, harvesters of wild plants and animals, farmers, producers of ingredients, food manufacturers, retailers, and organizations providing food services, catering services, cleaning and sanitation services, transportation, storage and distribution services, suppliers of equipment, cleaning and disinfectants, packaging materials and other food contact materials.

This document allows any organization, including small and/or less developed organizations (e.g. a small farm, a small packer-distributor, a small retail or food service outlet) to implement externally-developed elements in their FSMS.

ISO 22000 : 2018 stands for food safety management system. It is a prevention-based food safety system that identifies and prevents microbial, chemical and other hazards in the food based industry. The services offered under this category include:

Our ISO 22000 : 2018 (FSMS) Certification services provides clients a systematic method for analyzing food processes, determining the possible hazards, and designating the critical control points. These steps are necessary to prevent unsafe food from reaching the consumer.

Why ISO 22000 : 2018 (FSMS) Certification?
Prevent problems like presence of microbes, toxins, adulterants, etc. before they occur and to correct them as soon as they are detected
Is recognized and respected by the scientific community as well as international food quality organizations as the most effective approach to the manufacture of safe food.


ISO 22000 : 2018 (FSMS) Certification is built around seven principles:

  • Analysis of food hazards: Biological, chemical or physical
  • Identification of critical control points: Raw materials, storage, processing, distribution and consumption
  • Establishment of critical control limits and preventive measures: For example, minimum cooking temperature and time.
  • Monitoring of these critical control points.
  • Establishment of corrective actions.
  • Keeping records.
  • Systematic and regular auditing of the system in place by independent third party certification bodies

Advantages:

  • Identifies and prevents hazards from contaminating food
  • Improves product reliability.
  • Based on sound science
  • Places responsibility for ensuring food safety on the food manufacturer or distributor Helps food companies compete more effectively in the world market thereby reducing barriers to international trade
