ISO 22000:2018 is a food safety management system (FSMS) standard ensuring hazard control, risk management, and regulatory compliance across the food supply chain. It integrates HACCP principles, follows the PDCA cycle, and emphasizes risk-based thinking, traceability, communication, and leadership. Designed for food manufacturers, processors, transporters, and retailers, it enhances food safety, customer confidence, and global compliance while aligning with ISO’s High-Level Structure (HLS) for seamless integration with other standards.
