ISO 22000 is the globally recognised standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS), published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It sets out the requirements for a systematic approach to managing food safety hazards, ensuring food is safe at the point of consumption.
The current version, ISO 22000:2018, applies to organisations of all sizes in the food chain — from primary producers and manufacturers to processors, packagers, storage and distribution operators, and food service providers.
It combines the principles of HACCP with a structured management system approach, and aligns with other ISO management standards through the High-Level Structure — making it easier to integrate with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
Certification delivers measurable value across safety, compliance, supply chain access and reputation.
Systematically identify and control food safety hazards at every stage of the food chain — biological, chemical and physical.
Demonstrate compliance with food safety legislation and reduce the risk of enforcement action and product recalls.
Meet the requirements of retailers, food service operators and procurement processes that demand certified suppliers.
Reassure retailers, clients and consumers that your food safety controls are internationally recognised and independently audited.
ISO 22000 shares the High-Level Structure with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 — easy to integrate into your management system.
Stand out in tenders and procurement where ISO 22000 is a prerequisite or scoring advantage.
Structured around the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle and HACCP principles, the standard covers these essential elements.
| Concept | What It Means for Your Organisation |
|---|---|
| Context of the Organisation | Understand internal and external factors — regulatory, supply chain, consumer — that affect food safety. |
| Leadership | Top management must demonstrate commitment, set food safety policy and integrate the FSMS into strategic direction. |
| Hazard Analysis (HACCP) | Identify biological, chemical and physical hazards, and establish control measures at critical control points (CCPs). |
| Prerequisite Programmes (PRPs) | Establish foundational hygiene and operational controls — such as cleaning, pest control and personal hygiene. |
| Food Safety Objectives | Set measurable food safety objectives and plan actions to achieve them. |
| Operational PRPs | Manage operational controls for hazards that are not managed at CCPs, with clear monitoring and correction. |
| Verification & Validation | Verify that the FSMS is working and validate that control measures are effective. |
| Continual Improvement | Monitor, measure and evaluate food safety performance to drive continual improvement. |
