ISO 22000 — Food Safety Management

A globally recognized framework for managing food safety risks across the entire food supply chain — from farm to fork.

What It Is

A system for managing food safety risk

ISO 22000 specifies requirements for a Food Safety Management System (FSMS), combining HACCP principles with a broader management-system approach. It helps organizations across the food chain identify and control food safety hazards, so what reaches the consumer is safe.

It applies to any organization in the food chain, regardless of size — producers, processors, packaging manufacturers, transporters, and retailers.
