ISO 22000

ISO 22000 is the international standard for a Food Safety Management System (FSMS). Certification assesses the system that keeps food safe at production or handling sites named in the application — not a product label, recipe, or brand endorsement.

Auditors sample HACCP plans, prerequisite programmes (PRPs), traceability, and how hazards are monitored at sites in scope. The certificate lists those sites and any exclusions.

The cycle is three years with planned surveillance. Verify an issued certificate on Search before relying on it in a supply-chain review.
