ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System

Food safety is a global issue affecting billions of people who suffer from diseases caused by contaminated food. This is one of the most widespread health problems and an
important cause of reduced economic productivity. While much of the world’s food supply is safe, several recent high profile cases underline the potential danger of food-borne
illnesses to consumers. ISO 22000:2018 (FSMS) gives you a framework for effectively managing your food safety responsibilities.

ISO 22000:2005 can be used by any organization directly or indirectly involved in the food chain. It applies to all organizations in the food chain. It doesn’t matter how complex the organization is or what size it is, ISO 22000:2018 can help ensure the safety of its food products.

ISO 22000:2005 is an international accredited standard that harmonizes existing international and industry certification schemes and incorporates HACCP principles, though HACCP can still be implemented as a separate risk management tool. ISO 22000:2018 creates an effective and common structure for food safety management, communication throughout the supply chain, and management of food safety critical control points.
