ISO 22000 is crucial for consumers and companies as it enables organizations to improve their overall performance when it comes to food safety, by adopting a systematic approach. It helps identify, prevent, and control food safety hazards at every stage of the food chain – from farm to fork. This standard is applicable to all organizations, regardless of size or complexity, involved in the production of food, supplies and food contact materials, as well as in retail, catering and other related services.
