ISO 22000-HACCP Food Safety Management Systems - Requirements for any organization in the food chain

Why Should You Attend:

ISO 22000 applies to primary production companies, to retailers and to supply companies operating in the packaging and detergent industry, amongst others. We need to understand why companies need to comply with HACCP and ISO 22000.

National and international law and legislation in the area of food safety is becoming increasingly strict. Companies that are active in the food sector are obliged to comply with statutory hygiene regulations when preparing food and drink products. This means that companies producing, processing or distributing food must organize their operations in such a way that food safety is systematically ensured in order to guarantee consumer safety.

HACCP is an industry-specific hazard assessment tool which focuses on preventing hazards rather than inspecting end-products. This tool can be applied throughout the food chain from primary production to final consumption.

ISO 22000 has been the standard for food safety since 2005 and is based on HACCP guidelines in accordance with Codex Alimentarius and the management principles of ISO 9001. It is a globally accepted standard which forms the basis for an internationally valid ISO food safety certificate, and which is aimed at the entire agri-food chain.

While HACCP is focuses purely on food safety, ISO also looks at business processes and structures. ISO certification is independent, which means that an organization can decide for itself whether it wants to embrace it or not. Should we expect that many companies will convert their HACCP certificate into a certificate based on ISO 22000 in the near future. Besides the fact that HACCP is a food safety system, and ISO 22000 is a food safety management system standard, what are the differences?
