Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS)

ISO 22000:2018 – Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS)

At WWISE, we help organisations in the food supply chain implement and maintain ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS) to ensure safe products, consumer protection, and regulatory compliance. This international standard is applicable to all food-related businesses, from primary producers and processors to distributors, retailers, and catering services.

What ISO 22000:2018 Is and Why It Matters

ISO 22000:2018 is the global standard for food safety management systems. It combines the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) with ISO’s structured management system approach.

The standard requires organisations to:

  • Identify and control food safety hazards.
  • Establish effective communication throughout the food chain.
  • Ensure traceability of ingredients and finished products.
  • Comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
  • Continually monitor and improve food safety practices.

By implementing ISO 22000:2022, organisations build confidence with consumers, regulators, and trading partners that their food products are safe for consumption.
