Food Safety Management
As people have become increasingly concerned about food safety, it is critical for suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers in the food supply chain to ensure food safety. Effective food supply chain management system will not only enhance such companies’ reputations, but also provide them with a strong competitive edge.
The ISO 22000 standard is fully compatible with ISO 9001. It specifies the requirements for a food safety management system. The standard combines the following generally recognized key elements to ensure food safety along the food chain, up to the point of final consumption:
- Interactive communication
- System management
- Prerequisite programs
- HACCP principles
- System Requirements
General Requirements
- Management Responsibility
- Resource Management
- Planning and Realization of Safe Products
- Validation, Verification and Improvement of the FSMS
- Prerequisite programs ( PRPs), Operational PRPs and HACCP plan are required to be established, implemented, monitored and updated when necessary.
