Along with the rapid development of the food industry, many issues related to food‑borne illness have emerged. Food safety and the consequences of deviations in food product safety are a shared responsibility between the government, industry, and consumers. These incidents highlight the need for organizations to implement an effective food safety management system that operates within a structured management framework and is integrated into all organizational activities across the food chain—from harvest to ready‑to‑consume products.
ISO 22000 is an international standard developed using the Quality Management System approach (ISO 9001) with applicable adjustments, combining key elements of ISO 9001 and HACCP for the development, implementation, and continual improvement of a Food Safety Management System (FSMS).
The Food Safety Management System functions effectively through a systematic approach to identifying food hazards that remain under control, risk analysis, hazard control, management system control, and compliance with technical requirements, ensuring that the food produced is safe and suitable for consumption.
ISO 22000 can be applied to a wide range of organizations that are directly or indirectly involved in the food chain.
MUTU International is accredited by KAN and supported by competent auditors.
