ISO 22000 Certification

What is ISO 22000?

ISO 22000 is the globally recognized standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS), designed to be applicable to any organization operating within the food chain—from primary producers and processors to packaging, transportation, and retail. As food safety becomes an increasingly critical factor in consumer trust and global trade, companies need robust systems to ensure the integrity and safety of their products.

A Food Safety Management System (FSMS) provides a comprehensive framework aimed at safeguarding food products through the identification and control of food safety hazards at every stage of the supply chain. The primary goal is to ensure food is safe for consumption, achieved through the implementation of both organization-specific processes and the standardized procedures outlined in ISO 22000. This systematic approach not only ensures food safety but fosters a culture of continual improvement, ensuring the organization remains adaptable to emerging risks and regulatory changes.

Ethical Certifications is proud to offer independent, third-party certification services for ISO 22000. As an accredited certification body, we work closely with organizations to ensure their FSMS not only meets the stringent requirements of the standard but also exceeds customer, statutory, and regulatory expectations. Through PNAC-accredited certification and expertise, Ethical Certifications guarantees that your food safety processes are recognized internationally, enhancing your marketability and credibility.

ISO 22000 provides a structured pathway to minimizing food safety risks and improving overall performance by integrating the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) principles with other preventive measures. This approach ensures food safety hazards are systematically identified, assessed, and controlled. The 2018 version of the standard has expanded its scope to include feed producers and animal food producers, reinforcing the importance of safety across the entire food chain, from farm to fork.
