Study Notes

International Standard ISO 22000

This standard outlines requirements for food safety management systems
It applies to any organization involved in the food supply chain
It aims to provide safe food products and services
It helps organizations meet customer and regulatory requirements
It includes a risk-based approach and the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle

Key Concepts

Food Safety Management System (FSMS): A strategic decision for improving overall food safety performance.
Process Approach: Focuses on managing inter-related processes as a system to achieve intended results effectively
Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) Cycle: A continuous improvement method, used for managing and improving processes within the FSMS
Risk-Based Thinking: Evaluating uncertainties and their potential positive or negative effects for determining what actions should be taken.
Interested Parties: Individuals/organizations with relevant interests, including customers, suppliers, regulatory bodies, etc.
Scope: Defines the products, services, processes, and locations included in the FSMS. The scope is dependent on the organization’s specific activities.
Leadership and Commitment: Top management must demonstrate commitment by integrating FSMS requirements into processes, ensuring resources are available and promoting continual improvement.
Policy: A formally expressed statement of organizational intent and direction regarding food safety. Must be consistent with the organization's strategic direction.
Prerequisite Programs (PRPs): Basic conditions and activities needed to comply with food safety requirements within the food chain. Examples could include sanitation, hygiene, and pest control practices.
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP): Methods for identifying hazards that could pose risks and implementing preventive measures. This focuses on identifying hazards and establishing controls.
Operational Prerequisite Programs (OPRPs): Control measures or combinations to prevent or reduce significant food safety hazards.
Hazard Control Plan: The plan for managing potential hazards
