ISO 22000:2018 is the international standard for a Food Safety Management System (FSMS). This management system ensures that any organisation that is part of the food chain are aligned to local and international standards and regulations.
The Food Safety Management System (FSMS) combines and supplements the core elements of ISO 9001:2015 (QMS) and Hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) to provide an effective system for the development, implementation, and continual improvement of a documented FSMS.
Why implement the ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System
Implementing the FSMS demonstrates your proactive approach to addressing food safety. The ISO 22000:2018 management system is easily integrated with two or more other management system standards (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 45001, and ISO 22301).
An FSMS provides your organisation with greater transparency, minimising main food risks, and provides greater security to your customers and the end consumer.
What are some benefits to expect from implementing an FSMS?
An FSMS has various benefits for every organisation that is part of the food chain and providing food production services. Some of the benefits you can expect include:
- Overall food safety within production and preparation
- Hazard controls to ensure the safety of food preparation
- Supporting the organisation’s work in the food supply chain
- Food business strategy
- Food traceability
- Reduce food safety breach investigation time.
- Consistently meet customer requirements.
- Internationally recognised food safety standards and certification
- Conform to statutory and regulatory requirements
