What is the principle used by ISO 22000?

ISO 22000 is an international standard that sets out the requirements for a food safety management system (FSMS). The standard is based on the principles of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system and incorporates the principles of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and Good Hygiene Practices (GHPs).

The principle used by ISO 22000 is a systematic and proactive approach to identifying, assessing, and managing food safety hazards. This involves the use of a structured management system to identify potential hazards at every stage of the food production process, from raw materials to the finished product, and to implement controls to prevent, eliminate, or reduce the risks of those hazards.

ISO 22000 is based on the following principles:
Hazard analysis: Identify potential hazards in the food production process and determine the level of risk associated with each hazard.

Critical control points (CCPs): Identify the critical control points in the food production process where hazards can be controlled or eliminated.

Control measures: Implement control measures at critical control points to ensure that hazards are controlled or eliminated.

Monitoring: Monitor the critical control points to ensure that the control measures are working effectively.

Corrective actions: Take corrective actions when monitoring indicates that a control measure is not working effectively.

Verification: Verify the effectiveness of the food safety management system through regular audits and reviews.

Continuous improvement: Continuously improve the food safety management system through ongoing monitoring and review.

By following these principles, organizations can ensure that their food safety management system is effective, efficient, and continually improving, and that they are able to provide safe food products to consumers.
