The ISO22000 food safety management system standard was officially published on September 1, 2005. The standard aims to ensure that there are no weak links in the entire food chain to ensure the safety of food supply.

What organizations can implement the ISO22000 standard

ISO22000 applies to all organizations in the entire food supply chain, including feed processing, primary product processing, manufacturing, transportation, and storage of food, as well as retailers and the catering industry. In addition, other organizations closely related to food production can also adopt this standard, such as the production of food equipment, food packaging materials, food cleaning agents, food additives, and other food ingredients.

The Importance of ISO22000 Certification

Consumers or customers continuously demand that relevant organizations in the entire food supply chain demonstrate and provide sufficient evidence to prove their ability to identify and control food safety hazards and other factors that may affect food safety.

Therefore, many countries have established their own food safety management systems. However, the inconsistency of these standards left the organization at a loss, leading to the emergence of the international food standard ISO22000, which coordinates food standards across countries.
