ISO 22000 Food Safety Management

ISO 22000:2018

Food Safety Management Systems


ISO 22000 specifies requirements for a Food Safety Management System (FSMS) for organisations throughout the food chain. It integrates the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) with prerequisite programmes (PRPs) and a structured management system approach, enabling organisations to demonstrate their ability to control food safety hazards and ensure that food is safe at the time of human consumption.

RoyalCert's ISO 22000 certification covers organisations across the entire food chain — including primary producers, processors, manufacturers, retailers, caterers, ingredient suppliers and packaging manufacturers.
