Overview of ISO 22000 FSMS

Food safety is a critical global concern, and all food producers, regardless of size or product, must ensure the safety of their offerings to protect consumer health. ISO 22000 outlines the requirements for a Food Safety Management System (FSMS). Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO 22000 tackles food safety by addressing risks from food-borne contaminants at any point in the food supply chain. Managing these hazards requires collaboration across all stakeholders in the chain.

Core Elements of ISO 22000 FSMS

ISO 22000 FSMS includes the following core elements: • Interactive communication • System management • Prerequisite programs (PRPs) • Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles ISO 22000 is compatible with ISO 9001 for smoother integration. It combines HACCP principles with auditable requirements and PRPs to control potential food safety hazards effectively. Through comprehensive hazard analysis, the standard helps identify, evaluate, and manage risks specific to food processes and facilities.

ISO 22000 is recognized globally under the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and is a part of the Food Safety Systems Certification (FSSC) Scheme FS22000.
