ISO 22000 is an international standard that specifies what a Food Safety Management System (FSMS) must include. It guarantees that businesses in the food industry develop, implement, and continuously strengthen a system to ensure the safety of food products.
ISO 22000 outlines the needs for interactive communication, handling the systems, the use of prerequisite applications, and HACCP system. It ensures a thorough approach to food safety by covering everything from hazard analysis to traceability.
Though HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) (critical control point HACCP) and ISO 22000 both have a focus on food safety, HACCP is a particular methodology within ISO 22000. The ISO 22000 standard covers the entire food safety management system and includes a broader framework that incorporates HACCP principles.
The foundation of ISO 22000 is made up of fundamental concepts such as interactive communication, system management, application of prerequisite programs, and HACCP principles. These guidelines make sure that food safety is managed holistically.
ISO 22000 includes the following four key components: interactive communication, system management, prerequisite programs, and the implementation of HACCP principles. These components work together to create a strong food safety management system.
Yes, HACCP principles are covered by ISO 22000. HACCP ensures a systematic and science-based approach to identifying, assessing, and controlling food safety hazards. In fact, it is a key component of ISO 22000.
The cost of evaluating your management system in accordance with ISO 55001:2014 requirements can vary.

The goal of ISO 9001 certification scheme is to prioritise customer satisfaction while focusing on quality management across industries. ISO 22000, on the other hand, is specifically designed for the food industry and places a strong emphasis on the chain-wide safety of food products. Both have elements in common, such as a process-based approach and ongoing improvement, but only ISO 22000 specifically addresses the difficulties related to food safety.
