About ISO 22000

What is ISO 22000 Certification?

ISO 22000 certification is a global food safety management system (FSMS). It uses HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) to control food risks from raw material to the customer. It is important because unsafe food can harm people and businesses. It improves safety, quality, and trust. Over 30,000+ small and large businesses worldwide use ISO 22000.

ISO 22000:2018 – Latest Version

ISO 22000:2018 is the latest version used worldwide. It follows a simple structure, so it can combine with ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. It focuses on food safety risks, the HACCP method, and proper control at every step of food production and supply.

What is HACCP and Why Does It Matter?

HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points. It is a food safety method used in ISO 22000. It finds where food can get unsafe, and sets controls to stop it. ISO 22000 already includes HACCP, so no separate certification is needed.

ISO 22000 vs FSSAI – Are They the Same?

No, both are different. FSSAI is a legal license in India for food businesses. ISO 22000 is a global system for food safety management. It shows your food system meets international rules. Many buyers, supermarkets, and exporters ask for ISO 22000 along with FSSAI.

Food Safety Risk You Should Know

About 600 million people get ill each year from unsafe food. ISO 22000 shows that a food business takes safety seriously. A strong food safety management system (FSMS) keeps people safe, protects your brand, and saves your business from loss, recalls, and shutdowns.
