Course Overview
ISO 22000 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for a food safety management system. The standard is designed to help organizations of all sizes in the food industry ensure that their products are safe for consumption and meet regulatory requirements.
ISO 22000 provides a framework for the development, implementation, and continual improvement of a food safety management system that integrates key elements such as hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) principles, prerequisite programs, and management system principles.
The standard applies to all organizations involved in the food chain, from farmers and food manufacturers to distributors and retailers. ISO 22000 covers a wide range of food safety issues, including food hygiene, food handling, and food storage.
By implementing an ISO 22000-compliant food safety management system, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to ensuring the safety of their products, improve their reputation, and gain a competitive advantage. The standard also provides a common language and framework for communication between different organizations in the food chain, helping to promote cooperation and coordination in the industry.
