ISO 22000 Food safety management system

Food safety, security and potential risks are a topical issue for everyone. Consumers need to be sure that the food they eat is safe and that its origin is known. At the request of the consumer, every business in the food chain must be responsible for food safety and carry out self-monitoring risk assessments in line with standards. This allows the assessment and demonstration of the compliance of the product with food safety and the control of food safety hazards. Risks to food safety arise from biological, chemical or physical contamination and from a number of misapplications during production. This is why all food actors must fulfil their responsibility for ensuring food safety.
