SI ISO 22000: Food safety management
Today, consumers are aware of the possible harm they face from eating unsafe food. Implementation of a foods safety system ensure that the organization is doing everything it can to reduce the risk that people will be harmed by its products.
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is an advanced risk prevention system to prevent unsafe products from reaching the market.
SI ISO 22000 includes the HACCP requirements and new requirements, such as defining a prerequisite program (PRP). the certification is applicable for any organization seeking to improve the safety of the food it produces.
The British Retail Consortium (BRC) Global Standard for Food Safety covers the management of packing houses, food enterprises, and consumer products. The standard has been adopted by tier-1 European retailers and is the benchmark for an organization's readiness to produce and supply food products, food packaging materials, and consumer products (toys, textiles, and hygiene products) that are safe to use by the end consumer. Food producers, packaging houses, and consumer goods manufacturers must adopt the quality management and implement HACCP.
We recommend integrating the certification process with the requirements of SI ISO 9001: Quality management systems to create holistic and effective management for the organization.
