It specifies requirements for organizations involved in the food chain, with the aim of helping them improve food safety performance and deliver safe products to consumers.

All flashcards

What is ISO 22000?
An international, voluntary standard that specifies food safety management system requirements for organizations in the food chain, helping them manage food safety and improve performance.
What are the three central FSMS elements?
System management, prerequisite programs (PRPs), and HACCP principles. Together they support organization-wide management, basic hygienic conditions, and systematic hazard control.
What is the role of prerequisite programs?
PRPs establish basic conditions and activities, such as sanitation and pest control, that support a hygienic environment and provide a foundation for food safety controls.
Why does communication matter in the food chain?
Organizations need to exchange hazard and control information upstream and downstream so that relevant risks are understood and managed at each stage.
What does PDCA stand for?
Plan-Do-Check-Act: a repeating cycle for planning work, implementing it, evaluating results, and acting to maintain or improve performance.
