Introduction to Food Safety and ISO twenty two thousand twenty eighteen.

Every year, millions of people get sick from unsafe food.

Hundreds of thousands die.

Children are especially vulnerable.

Dangerous food also impacts our society's health care system and economy, as well as people's trust

in authority.

For these reasons, food safety is a global priority.

It wasn't always this way.

In years past, food safety was inconsistent and unpredictable.

People haven't always fully understood why food can make them sick, thanks to advances in science and

technology.

Food has become much safer regulations and standards like ISO 22000 to help protect public health and

wellness.

What is ISO 22000?

It's an international private standard that outlines in detail what food safety management systems F.

S M.

S should look like.

Originally established in 2005, it was updated in 2018 to reflect new trends and challenges in food

safety.

There are specific things every FSM must include, such as interactive communication, system management,

prerequisite programs and a CCP principles.

CCP, which stands for hazard analysis and Critical Control Points, is a method that helps prevent

various food hazards like biological and chemical hazards.

I saw twenty two thousand twenty eighteen applies to any organization within the food industry chain.

When an organization meets the requirements, a third party auditor comes in and conducts an inspection,

if they're satisfied, they'll recommend the organization for certification every three years, the

certification needs to be renewed.

Organizations can lose their certification if they haven't kept up with the requirements.

There are many benefits to getting certified.

The most obvious is that a good AIFS mass makes it easier to prevent and respond to problems, food

products are better and safer.

More and more consumers these days want businesses to strive for certain benchmarks.

Getting certified will build customer and stakeholder confidence because ISO is so internationally recognized,

getting certified also opens new doors on a global scale.

Food safety is always evolving.

What will it look like in the future?

New technology shifting consumer desires, climate change and globalization presents unique challenges

and solutions.

Standards like ISO twenty two thousand twenty eighteen will also no doubt change.

But the foundation remains the same.

Food safety is of global importance.
