ISO22000 specifies the requirements for a food safety management system in the food chain where an organisation needs to demonstrate its ability to control food safety hazards in order to provide consistently safe end-products that meet both the requirements agreed with the customer and those applicable to food safety regulations.The standard combines generally recognised key elements to ensure food safety along the food chain including:

• Interactive communication.
• System management.
• Control of food safety hazards through pre-requisite programmes and HCCP plans.
• Continual improvement and updating of the management system.

The standard will further clarify the concept of prerequisite programmes. These are divided into two subcategories:

1. Infrastructure and maintenance programmes.
2. Operational prerequisite programmes.

Key Benefits of ISO22000:

• Resource optimisation - internally and along the food chain.
• More efficient and dynamic food safety hazard control.
• All control measures subjected to hazard analysis.
• Better planning, less post process verification.
• Improved documentation.
• Saves resources by reducing overlapping system audits.
• Systematic management of prerequisite programmes.
• Control focused on what is necessary.
• Widely applicable because it is focused on end results.
• Organised and targeted communication among trade partners (repeated below).
• Valid basis for taking decisions.
• Increased due diligence.
• Dynamic communication on food safety issues with suppliers, customers, regulators and other interested parties.
• A systematic and proactive approach to identification of food safety hazards and development and implementation of control measures.
