ISO 22000

ISO 22000 – Food Safety Management Systems

ISO 22000 is the internationally recognized standard for food safety management systems. It applies to businesses throughout the food chain – from production and processing to distribution and catering – ensuring that food is safe and of high quality.

The standard integrates HACCP principles (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) into a structured management system to identify and minimize risks early. Companies certified under ISO 22000 guarantee a safe supply chain and comply with national and international food safety regulations.

ISO 22000 is relevant for companies of all sizes, including food manufacturers, suppliers, logistics companies, packaging producers, and retailers. A certification demonstrates to customers, partners, and authorities that your company maintains the highest standards in food safety.
