ISO 22000 is an internationally recognised standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS). It provides organisations with a structured framework to identify, manage, and control food safety hazards throughout the food supply chain.

The standard can be implemented by organisations directly or indirectly involved in the food chain, including manufacturers, producers, suppliers, transport providers, packaging companies, and food service organisations. ISO 22000 helps organisations ensure food safety and maintain customer confidence.

ISO 22000 integrates the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle and risk-based thinking with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) principles. These approaches help organisations identify, prevent, and control food safety risks while improving operational performance.
