ISO 22000-Food Safety Management Systems
ISO 22000:2005 is a Food Safety Management Systems, recognized as an international certification standard. The standard outlines Food safety management system requirements for any organization in the food chain and is one of a family of standards focused at the development, implementation and improvement of a food safety management system.
The objective of the ISO 22000 is to control and reduce at the most acceptable level of any identified hazards for the end products which are being delivered and distributed.
HACCP is a preventive system for assuring the safe production of food products. The application of HACCP is based on technical and scientific principles that assure food safety. An ideal application would include all processes from the farm to the table. The principle of HACCP can be applied to food production, meat slaughter and processing, shipping and distribution, food service and in home preparation.
The most important aspect of HACCP is that it is a preventative system rather than an inspection system of controlling food safety hazards. Prevention of hazards cannot be accomplished by end product inspection and controlling the production process with HACCP offers the best approach. The application of HACCP is systematic because structured hazard analysis and implementation are provided.
The assurance of safety comes from the process of identifying the hazards, establishing controls for the identified hazards, monitoring the controls and periodically verifying that the system works.
The ISO 22000 standard and HACCP outlines and combines generalized criteria’s which are recognized to be the key elements to ensure food safety management, including:
- Internal and external interactive communication;
- System management at all levels within the organization from the staff to the customers and third-parties involved.
- Overall control of food safety hazards through prerequisite programs with the combined HACCP plans for successful implementations.
- Continual improvement programs are being implemented and maintained for the food safety management system throughout the organization.
- It integrates and reinforces the hazard analysis and critical control point system which creates a very effective food safety management system.
