What is ISO 22000?

ISO 22000:2018 is an international Food Safety Management System standard for organisations in the food chain

ISO 22000:2018 provides a management system framework for food safety. It combines recognised food safety principles with management system thinking, including leadership, planning, support, operational controls, performance evaluation, continual improvement, the process approach and risk-based thinking.

Food Safety Management System structure

ISO 22000 helps food businesses structure policies, objectives, responsibilities, processes, prerequisite programmes, HACCP-based controls, verification activities and documented information.

Process approach and PDCA cycle

The standard uses a process-based approach and PDCA thinking to help organisations plan, implement, monitor, verify and improve their food safety management system.

Useful across the food chain

ISO 22000 is relevant to food manufacturers, processors, packers, food service operations, ingredient suppliers, packaging businesses, storage providers and other food-chain organisations.

South African context: ISO 22000 training is especially valuable for businesses that need practical FSMS capability, stronger internal system understanding, improved audit readiness and better alignment between HACCP, prerequisite programmes and management system requirements.
ISO 22000 structure

Effective ISO 22000 training must connect clause interpretation with practical FSMS implementation

ISO 22000 training should help learners understand how the clauses work together, how operational food safety controls integrate with management system requirements, and how documented information supports implementation, monitoring, verification and improvement.

Management system clauses

  • ✓Context of the organisation
  • ✓Leadership and food safety policy
  • ✓Planning and objectives
  • ✓Support, competence and communication
  • ✓Performance evaluation and improvement

Operational food safety controls

  • ✓Prerequisite programmes
  • ✓Traceability and emergency preparedness
  • ✓Hazard control planning
  • ✓OPRPs and CCPs
  • ✓Verification, validation and control of nonconformity

Why training matters

ISO 22000 training helps teams understand what the standard requires, how requirements connect to real food safety controls, and how to support implementation, internal audits, corrective actions and continual improvement.
