In recent years, food safety accidents have occurred frequently, and China's food safety production is facing severe challenges. Every link in the entire supply chain, from farmland to dining tables, faces challenges in product safety, quality reliability, and improving efficiency.
Under the dual strict supervision of regulations and consumers, the quality and safety production of food and agricultural products has received increasing attention. The adoption of a food safety management system is a strategic decision of the organization, which can help improve overall food safety performance, lay a solid foundation for promoting sustainable development, and the potential benefits of implementing a food safety management system can stably provide the ability to meet customer requirements and applicable legal requirements for food safety, products, and services; Dealing with risks related to goals; To demonstrate the ability to meet the requirements of the food safety management system, the organization is able to identify various factors that may cause deviations from the planned results in its processes and food safety management system, implement controls, and prevent or reduce adverse effects.
ISO 22000:2018 applies the HACCP principle as a method to the entire system; Clarified that hazard analysis is the core of planning for the implementation of safe food, and used the product characteristics, expected uses, flowcharts, processing steps, control measures, and communication in the preparatory steps developed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) as inputs for hazard analysis and its updates; Simultaneously, dynamically and evenly combine the HACCP plan and its prerequisite solutions.
ISO 22000:2018 expresses common requirements in food safety management, rather than specific requirements for any type of organization in the food chain. This standard applies to all organizations in the food chain that wish to establish a food safety system, regardless of their size, type, and the products they provide.
