ISO 22000

Food Safety Management System

 Who is ISO?
 The International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) creates many different types of standards.
 ISO is made up of Standards Institutes from 161 different
countries. (Pakistan (PSQCA): Pakistan Standards and Quality
Control Authority)
 Member countries work together to develop and approve
standards.
What is a standard?
 A standard is a document that provides
requirements, specifications, guidelines or
characteristics that can be used consistently to
ensure that materials, products, processes and
services are fit for their purpose.
 What are the benefits of ISO
International Standards?

 ISO International Standards ensure that

products and services are safe, reliable and of
good quality. For business, they are strategic
tools that reduce costs by minimizing waste and
errors, and increasing productivity. They help
companies to access new markets, level the
playing field for developing countries and
facilitate free and fair global trade.

What ISO 22000 means?

ISO 22000 means consensus agreements

between all the economic stakeholders
concerned: suppliers; government
regulators; other interest groups, such as
consumers
 ISO 22000
 It is a Food Safety Management System (FSMS) that
uses a management system approach and HACCP
requirements
 A management system designed to enable organizations
to control food safety hazards along the food chain in
order to ensure that food is safe at the time of
consumption
 The goal is to provide one internationally recognized
standards for a food safety management system that
can be applied to any organization in the food chain
 ISO22000:2005
Features:
 First global food safety standard
 Harmonizes the voluntary international standards
 Employs proven management system principles
 Enables a common understanding of what a food
safety management system is
 Requires legal compliance checking
 Integrates existing good practice
 Internal and external monitoring
 ISO22000:2005
Benefits:
 Overcomes many of the limitations of traditional approaches to
food safety control
 Potential to identify all convincible, reasonably expected hazards
 Capable of accommodating the changes
 Help to target or manage resources to the most critical part of
the food operation
 Can promote international trade by equalizing food safety
control and by increasing confidence in food safety
 Applicable to whole food chain
How ISO22000 differ from HACCP
 Planning: whole food chain
 Consider all hazards in spite of CCPs
(significant and non-significant)
 Up graduation

 How does an organization become ISO
22000 registered?
 Need to decide if your goal is ISO 22000
compliance
 Implement the system and follow it, and use self-
assessment to demonstrate conformity
 Or if goal is ISO 22000 Registration
 A third party Registrar audits the system and certifies
that it is compliant
Compliance means that your management system fully adheres to the
requirements of the standard. Certification means that your management system
has actually been certified to be in conformance (compliance) with all the
requirements of the standard
Implementation
Techniques
 Implementation of ISO 22000
 Need to develop an implementation plan that covers:
 Education on the contents of the standard
 A comparison of current system to the requirements of ISO
22000, often called a GAP ANALYSIS
 A timeline of the implementation steps based on the gap
analysis
 Time to run the Food Safety Management System, collecting
records and making improvements before registration audit
 Implementation Steps
 Assign a Food Safety Management Team (FSMT)
 This team will be active in the design and development of the
FSMS and participate in the continued management of the
system
 Assign a Management Team
 This team will also be active in both the design and
development and the ongoing management of the system
 Implementation Steps:
 The Management Team will act as a steering
team for the project, assigning responsibilities,
providing resources and coordinating the project
 The Management Team can assign task teams to
work on specific processes that must be
designed and documented for the Food Safety
Management System (FSMS)
 Implementation Steps:
 Each task team will evaluate the current process
that they are assigned to and the requirements
of the standard
 A new or modified process will be developed,
documented and submitted to the Management
Team for review and approval
 Implementation Steps
 After the task teams have designed and
documented a new or modified process, it must
be implemented
 Training of all employees that are involved in
the process
 When the required processes have been
implemented, subjected to internal audit
program and management review meetings
 Implementation Steps
 Use information from internal audits and
management review to make improvements to
the FSMS
 Run your system long enough to generate
records for the Registrar to audit
 Make sure all employees are trained on ISO
22000
 Have a Registrar conduct your Registration
Audit

ISO Benefits
 ISO 22000 Benefits to Society

 For businesses, the widespread adoption of ISO 22000

means
 Suppliers can base the development of their products and
services on specifications that have wide acceptance in their
sectors

 This, in turn, means

 Businesses using ISO 22000 are increasingly free to compete
on many more markets around the world
 ISO 22000 Benefits to Consumers

 For consumers:
 Conformity of products and services to International Standards
 Provides assurance about:
1. Quality
2. Safety
3. Reliability
 ISO 22000 Benefits to Trade Officials
 IS0 22000 create "a level playing field" for all competitors on
regional and global markets

 The existence of divergent national or regional standards can

create technical barriers to trade, even when there is political
agreement to do away with restrictive import quotas and the like

 International Standards are the technical means by which

political trade agreements can be put into practice
 ISO 22000 Benefits to Developing Countries

 ISO 22000 represents an international consensus and constitute

an important source of technological know-how

 By defining the characteristics that products and services will be

expected to meet on export markets

 International Standards give developing countries a basis for

making the right decisions when investing their scarce resources.
 ISO 22000: General Benefits

 ISO 22000 can contribute to the quality of life in

general by:
 Ensuring safe food
 Reducing food borne diseases
 Better quality and safer jobs in the food industry
 Better utilization of resources
 More efficient validation and documentation of
techniques, methods and procedures
 Increased profits
 Increased potential for economic growth and development
 ISO 22000 Benefits to Governments

 For governments, ISO 22000 provides:

 Technological and scientific know-how
 Bases for developing health, safety and environmental
legislation
 Education of food regulatory personnel
 Certification or registration
 International acceptance of standards used globally
 Economic benefits
 Social benefits
 Food quality
 Food safety
 Food security
 Summary of Benefits of ISO 22000

 More efficient and dynamic food safety

hazard control
 Systematic management of prerequisite
programmes
 Valid basis for taking decisions
 Control focused on what is necessary
 (Cont’d)

 Saves resources by reducing overlapping

system audits
 Organizes and targets communication
among partners
 Resource optimization
 Improves documentation
 Better planning, less post-process
verification
 Conclusions
 Food safety is related to the presence and levels of food-borne
hazards in food at the point of consumption. As food safety
hazards may be introduced at any stage of the food chain, adequate
control throughout the food chain is essential. Thus, food safety is a
joint responsibility of all parties participating in the food chain

 Failures in food supply can cause human suffering, death, poor

reputation, violations, poor nutrition, poor quality products and
decreased profits

 ISO 22000 ensures integrity of food supply chain by minimizing

food-borne hazards throughout the food chain by ensuring that
there are no weak links
 Conclusions (Cont’d)
 Good scientific sense for those who are involved in food
processing, manufacturing, storage, distribution of food and
food products to adopt and implement ISO 22000

 ISO 22000 for food safety management systems is intended to

provide food safety and security

 ISO 22000 can be applied on its own or in combination with

other management system standards such as ISO 9001:2000
