ISO 22000:2018 is an international standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS). It provides a framework for organizations across the food chain to identify, control, and reduce food safety hazards, ensuring that food is safe for consumption. This standard is applicable to all types and sizes of organizations involved in the food supply chain, from farm to fork. It adopts a risk-based approach and integrates the high-level structure common to all ISO management system standards, making it compatible with other standards like ISO 9001. By implementing ISO 22000:2018, organizations can enhance consumer trust, improve operational efficiency, and ensure compliance with global food safety regulations.
