Food safety is a priority

Today is World Food Safety Day, a day that reminds us that we all need to work together to ensure healthy and safe food at every stage, from production to consumption.

With an estimated 600 million cases of foodborne illnesses each year, it is vital that safe food is provided to all. Through the implementation of standards, such as ISO 22000, which help organizations identify and control food safety risks, we can strengthen efforts to deliver safe food to all.

The priority of each country is to provide food security, promote health, economic prosperity and sustainable development.

Food producers have a responsibility to manage the safety of their products and the well-being of their consumers, therefore ISO 22000 helps them achieve their objectives.

The standard SSH ISO 22000:2018 "Food safety management systems - Requirements for any organization in the food chain".

This standard sets out the requirements for food safety management systems so that organisations are directly or indirectly involved in the food chain by planning, implementing, operating and maintaining food safety management systems in order to provide safe products and services, in accordance with their use by buyers or users.
