Requirements have been organized with the aim of being shared among all parties involved in the food supply chain, from the farmer in the field, transportation and storage operators, to retailers and restaurants, including machinery and packaging manufacturers. The goal is to reduce foodborne illnesses and deaths caused by these illnesses, as well as related costs. Due to consumers and purchasing companies—countries—demanding safe food, HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) based food safety management systems have become increasingly widespread and demanded today. Organizations operating in the food sector can demonstrate compliance with international food standards by certifying their ISO 22000
Food Safety Management System; proving to the public and all relevant parties that they meet these standards.
ISO 22000
Companies producing food products need to have certain standards in order to present their products to consumers in a way that does not harm human health. Countries can set some standards according to their own policies. However, to ensure these standards and quality worldwide and to enable companies to participate in the global market, the ISO22000 certification is used. Although this internationally recognized certificate is not a mandatory certification that must be obtained by businesses, it is one of the most important quality indicators due to the advantages it provides.
One of the main advantages of the ISO22000 certification for food-producing businesses is the opportunity to compete in the international market. Many countries now allow businesses with this certification to operate within their borders, so certified companies can establish a presence in broader markets. Another advantage of the certification is the ability to be more competitive in the domestic market. Because businesses with these standards will be more widely accepted, they can have a stronger position against competitors.
The ISO22000 certification not only benefits businesses in market competition. It also enables more active use of internal management systems, easier management of costs, and simpler evaluation of product standards. With a more robust system, a fast, effective, and dynamic production system is ensured.
Food poisoning occurs as a result of very serious mistakes. Such incidents can lead to the end of a business. Businesses with the ISO22000 certification can prevent elements that threaten human health, thus avoiding such situations. This ensures food safety for consumers. Thanks to these standards that the business will have, it will also enhance its prestige in the eyes of consumers.
For businesses to increase profitability, it is very important to accurately calculate costs and prevent resource waste. If the systems of food-producing businesses do not operate correctly, it is not possible to perform the necessary controls on these two aspects. However, thanks to the standards achieved by businesses with the ISO22000 certification, more accurate cost calculations will be possible. On the other hand, since production facilities will be used in the best way, resource waste will be minimized.
Food-producing businesses can obtain the ISO22000 certification to be able to compete in both domestic and international markets and to produce in a healthy and high-quality manner, reaching the necessary standards.
