ISO 22000:2018 - Food safety management systems. An effective food safety management system (FSMS) reinforces an organization's control on food safety hazards and ensures that its products are safe for consumption.
ISO 22000 is applicable to all organizations in the food and feed industries, regardless of size or sector. Following the same High-Level Structure (HLS) as other ISO management system standards, such as ISO 9001 (quality management), it is designed in a way that it can be integrated into an organization’s existing management processes but can also be used alone.
ISO 22000 enables organizations to put in place a food safety management system that helps them improve their overall performance when it comes to food safety.
