What is ISO 22000 Certification?
ISO 22000 is the internationally recognized standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS).
Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), it helps organizations involved in the food chain ensure the safety of food products at every stage — from farm to fork.
The standard integrates the principles of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) with modern management system practices, providing a robust framework to control food safety risks.
