ANAB Accreditation for ISO 22000 Food Safety Management Systems

Food safety relates to the presence of food-borne hazards in food at the point of consumption. Because food safety hazards can be introduced at any stage of the food chain, adequate control throughout the food chain is essential.

ISO 22000 specifies requirements for a food safety management system that combines interactive communication, system management, prerequisite program, and HACCP principles to ensure food safety along the food chain. FSSC 22000 is a GFSI-benchmarked food safety management systems certification scheme.
