ISO 22000:2018

The food safety management standard. It folds the HACCP principles and prerequisite programmes into a management system, so hazard control and document control run as one system.

Who carries this

ISO 22000, in practice.

Food safety management systems. Requirements for any organization in the food chain.

Anyone in the food chain: growers, processors, packers, transporters, retailers and the businesses that supply equipment or packaging to them.

A note on the text

The clause numbers and titles above are the standard's own public structure. The standard itself is copyright of its issuing body and you buy it from them. What we add is the interpretation underneath, and that lives in your workspace.

What the service does with it

Every month, on a schedule you can check.

This is the running work for this standard specifically. The general shape is the same across all of them.

We carry
  • Keep flow diagrams verified on site and dated, because the audit starts there
  • Maintain the hazard analysis and the hazard control plan on their review dates
  • Hold prerequisite programmes under version control with a verification schedule
  • Run the traceability and mock recall exercises and record the reconciliation
  • Carry every critical limit deviation through correction, root cause and verification
Evidence the assessor asks for
  • Flow diagrams with on-site verification signature and date
  • Hazard analysis worksheets and CCP determination rationale
  • CCP and OPRP monitoring records with corrections
  • Calibration certificates for monitoring equipment, traceable
  • Mock recall report with reconciliation percentage and elapsed time

Each one is filed against the requirement it satisfies as the work happens, so the pack for the next visit already exists.

Walk it yourself

Name a clause in ISO 22000 and we will open it.

The requirement, the control attached to it, the evidence that satisfies it, and the audit checklist it generates. Nothing prepared in advance, because there is nothing to prepare.
