ISO 22000 is a food safety management system developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is an outcome-focused standard that sets out requirements for any organization involved in the food industry, with the aim of enhancing overall food safety performance. These standards are designed to ensure the safety of the global food supply chain by providing comprehensive guidelines for food safety management, including an emphasis on traceability throughout the feed and food chain. ISO 22000 is the most widely adopted voluntary international food safety standard, with 51,535 certified sites globally (according to the ISO Survey 2022). The ISO 22000 series consist of internationally recognized voluntary consensus standards that adhere to Good Standardization Practices (GSP) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles for developing international standards.
