Is Your Food as Safe as You Think It Is?

The consequences of unsafe food can be serious and ISO’s food safety management standards help organizations identify and control food safety hazards. ISO 22000 is a Food Safety Management System that can be applied to any organization in the food chain, farm to fork. Becoming certified to ISO 22000 allows a company to show their customers that they have a Food Safety Management System in place. This provides customer confidence in the product. This is becoming more and more important as customers demand safe food and food processors require that ingredients obtained from their suppliers to be safe.

ISO 22000-2005 versus ISO 22000-2018

In response to changes to diversity, globalization, and digitization across the industry, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recently announced a revision to its ISO 22000 standard which governs food safety management systems. First proposed over four years ago, this revision impacts organizations large and small.

ISO 22000:2018 represents a new approach to risk that distinguishes between the operational and business level of the management system. The revision is also more closely tied to the Codex Alimentarius, a collection of internationally recognized standards put forward by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization.

There are a few important things to understand about the revision:

The new version of ISO 22000 will follow the same structure as all other ISO management system standards, making compliance easier for those organizations already certified to other standards.
The revision adopts a new approach to understand risk, one in which both internal and external risks are examined, put into appropriate organizational context, and paired with an effective risk treatment plan.
The revisions include clarifications to the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle by outlining two cycles that work together: one to cover the management system and the other to cover the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). This underscores the importance for business to distinguish hazard assessment at the operational level separately from business risks identification and mitigation.
