Food safety and security is important to everyone - producers and consumers alike. It is important for every consumer to be sure that the food they eat is safe and traceable. The responsibility for ensuring food safety lies with all businesses along the food chain. In accordance with ISO 22000:2018, they must implement a system of self-control based on risk assessment to identify, eliminate or mitigate potential hazards. Such a system demonstrates compliance with food safety requirements and effective control measures. Potential hazards may arise from biological, chemical or physical contamination at different stages of production. It is therefore essential that each actor in the sector plays its role and responsibility to ensure safe and secure food.
ISO 22000 certification is internationally recognised as proof that a company manages food safety risks responsibly and adheres to the highest safety standards. It builds on the existing food safety management system and helps to integrate control processes into a single, efficient and transparent system. As a result, food safety and regulatory compliance are ensured.
Key benefits for the company:
Early identification and effective control of risks;
Reduction in production errors thanks to accurate identification of risk areas;
Improved cooperation with suppliers, customers, supervisory authorities and other partners;
Strengthening consumer confidence by demonstrating the provision of safe food;
ISO 22000:2018 can be easily integrated with other management standards such as ISO 9001 (quality management) and HACCP. It allows for a holistic approach to company processes and provides a comprehensive food safety solution. In addition, ISO 22000 certification often serves as a prerequisite for participation in food sector procurement, where a certified food safety management system is required as one of the qualification criteria.
A certified food safety management system is often a prerequisite for participation in procurement and for working with suppliers or customers. ISO 22000 certification gives your company a reliable basis for development and strengthens your competitiveness in both the domestic and international markets.
To be certified, a company must have a food safety management system in place that meets the requirements of ISO 22000:2018. CERTIFICATION AND TESTING CENTRE Ltd is an accredited certification body that can provide certification services.
