ISO 22000 is designed to allow all types of organizations within the food chain to implement a Food Safety Management System. These include feed producers, primary producers, food manufacturers, transport and storage operators and sub contractors, retail service outlets, producers of equipments, packaging materials, cleaning agents, additives and ingredients. ISO 22000 will make it easier for organizations to implement HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) system for food hygiene as it incorporates the principles of HACCP. Another benefit of ISO 22000 is that it extends the successful management system approach of ISO 9001:2000 quality management system standard which is widely implemented in all sectors but does not itself specifically address food safety. |
