  2. Introduction In order to understand the significance of ISO 22000 we must first understand what ISO 22000 is about and how is it applicable to the food industry. To achieve these objectives we must ask the following questions: • What does ISO 22000 mean? -ISO 22000 means Food Safety Management System. It is an assurance standard concerning the safety of food. Companies that implement this standard develop a sustained food safety system and improve this year-on-year.

  3. How ISO 22000 benefit society? • For businesses, the widespread adoption of ISO 22000 means that food-related organizations are focusing on consumer safety as a priority and a key differentiator. • This, in turn, means that businesses using ISO 22000 are using uniform policies and procedures to comply to legal and statutory requirements.

  9. What are the benefits of ISO 22000 for other stakeholders? • Confidence that organizations implementing ISO 22000 have the ability to identify and control food safety hazards; • International in scope; • Provides potential for harmonization of national standards; • Provides a reference for the whole food chain; • Provides a framework for third party certification;

  10. What are the benefits of ISO 22000 for other stakeholders? (Cont’d) • Fills a gap between ISO 9001:2000 and HACCP; • Contributes to a better understanding and further development of Codex HACCP; • Auditable standards with clear requirements; • System approach rather than product approach; • Suitable for regulators

  13. Conclusions • Food safety is related to the presence of and levels of food-borne hazards in food at the point of consumption. As food safety hazards may be introduced at any stage of the food chain, adequate control throughout the food chain is essential. Thus, food safety is a joint responsibility of all parties participating in the food chain; • Failures in food supply can cause human suffering, death, poor reputation, violations, poor nutrition, poor quality products and decreased profits; • ISO 22000 ensures integrity of food supply chain by minimizing food-borne hazards throughout the food chain by ensuring that there are no weak links;

  14. Conclusions (Cont’d) • It therefore makes good scientific sense for those who are involved in food processing, manufacturing, storage, distribution of food and food products to adopt and implement ISO 22000; • ISO 22000 for food safety management systems is intended to provide food safety and security; • ISO 22000 can be applied on its own or in combination with other management system standards such as ISO 9001:2000
