ISO 22000 食品安全管理体系

ISO 22000: Comprehensive Food Safety Management

Consumers not only expect the highest quality products from food manufacturers, they also demand food safety. The ISO 22000 standard therefore covers all stages of the food chain and promotes total product safety in the food manufacturing industry.

The standard is valid worldwide, which means that the ISO 22000 certificate is also recognised internationally. For export-focused customers, this is particularly an important basis when selecting suppliers. In addition, the systematic integration of hazard analysis and critical control points enables you to establish reliable risk management within your company. a particular advantage of ISO 22000 is that each organisation can establish and certify its own customised food safety management system.

Clauses 4.1 and 4.2 of the MSS are affected. This is to ensure that organisations consider climate change in addition to all other aspects when considering the effectiveness of a management system.
