Hazard Control System

Food producers must identify and control potential hazards that could affect food safety. Frameworks such as HACCP and ISO 22000 help organizations establish preventive controls, monitoring procedures, and documented practices to manage biological, chemical, and physical risks in food production.

Food Safety Management

Standards like ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 provide a structured management approach for food safety. They guide organizations in maintaining hygienic production environments, managing supplier inputs, and ensuring traceability throughout the food supply chain.

Why Food Safety Certification Matters?

Organizations involved in food manufacturing and processing must maintain strict food safety controls to protect consumers and meet regulatory expectations. Certifications such as ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, and HACCP help businesses implement preventive hazard management, strengthen operational discipline, and demonstrate compliance with international food safety requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick information about ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, and HACCP certification, including their purpose, implementation process, timelines, and food safety compliance expectations.

ISO 22000 is an international food safety management standard that helps organizations identify and control food safety risks across the entire food supply chain.

FSSC 22000 builds on ISO 22000 by adding sector-specific prerequisite programs and is recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), making it widely accepted by global food brands and retailers.

The certification process usually takes 3 to 6 months, depending on the organization’s size, existing food safety systems, and readiness for the certification audit.

HACCP is commonly implemented by food manufacturers, processors, catering services, and other organizations involved in food preparation, handling, and distribution.
