Introduction: Food Safety Isn’t Optional Anymore

A few years ago, a family-run bakery in Bengaluru faced a nightmare. A minor incident—traces of mold found in a batch of packaged buns—led to immediate delisting from their biggest retail partner. Sales tanked. Worse, customer trust evaporated overnight. Their reputation, built over decades, was suddenly at risk.

That’s when they turned to ISO 22000 certification. Within six months, not only had they redesigned their food safety system, but also won back the retailer, signed two more supermarket chains, and even began exporting to the UAE.

For Indian food businesses—whether you’re a cloud kitchen, packaged food startup, dairy brand, or spice exporter—ISO 22000 is no longer just a badge of quality. It’s a business lifeline.

ISO 22000 Certification

Overview of ISO 22000 FSMS

ISO 22000 Certification is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) establishing a FSMS (Food Safety Management System) for the control of food safety. ISO 22000:2018 removes risk to your organization, your customers, the community and the food supply chain because of unsafe foods. With the rise in food safety incidents in recent years, ISO 22000:2018 offers organizations an effective way to be sure food safety hazards are systematically identified, controlled and prevented in the food supply chain.

The ISO 22000 FSMS acknowledges and includes the following principal elements of food safety:

  • Interactive Communication
  • Management of the System
  • Pre-requisite Programs (PRPs)
  • Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Principles

ISO 22000 can be applied in conjunction with ISO 9001 and is designed to be used in conjunction with other management systems.  ISO 22000 takes the principles of HACCP and includes auditable requirements to give you the proper means to control food safety hazards throughout the food supply chain.

What Is ISO 22000 Certification & Why It Matters?

ISO 22000 is an internationally recognized standard establishing the requirements for a strong Food Safety Management System (FSMS). Released by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), it is proactively helping organizations of all sizes build confidence that food safety is being addressed throughout the entire food supply chain from sourcing raw materials to consumption. 

ISO 22000:2018 incorporates three key pillars in food safety, that are systemic in nature: 

  1. Interactive communication
  2. Systematic management
  3. Principles of HACCP and pre-requisite programs (PRPs) 

“ISO 22000 does more than just prepare your food. It safeguards your brand.”

Why ISO 22000:2018 is Important Today?

Today, food supply chains have ever-growing complexities. From raw materials to ready-to-eat products, every single link in the chain must be tightly controlled, lest a contamination event or a slip with serious consequences take place.

ISO 22000:2018 ensures that your safety systems, from food sourcing and handling to storage and distribution, are structured to detect and control any food safety hazards.

Here’s why this certification matters:

  • Improves access to international markets
  • Increases consumer confidence
  • Is in line with regulatory frameworks
  • Enhances traceability and control
  • Builds global food safety culture within your team

  • The Stage 1 audit encompasses an on-site audit of your Food Safety Management System (FSMS) to demonstrate compliance with the ISO 22000:2018 standard. This audit will not only verify that the FSMS has been properly documented and designed to meet your organization’s food safety policies and objectives, but also that the organization can also demonstrate the following:
  • The Statutory, Regulatory, or contractual quality obligations to be satisfied are addressed
  • Internal audits and management review systems, and structure are in place.
  • The essential FSMS documentation that needs to be reviewed includes, but is not limited to, the scope of certification, food safety objectives, and the organization’s legal and customer requirements.

Stage 2 Audit – Certification evaluation

The Stage 2 Audit is often referred to as the Certification Audit. At Stage 2, the auditor’s assessment takes a much deeper dive into how the ISO 22000 FSMS has been effective in organization-wide management. The auditor will:

  1. Validate how the FSMS has been put in place for effectiveness and at all levels of operations.
  2. Review pieces of evidence to demonstrate conformity to ISO 22000:2018 standards.
  3. Review your organization’s ability to control food safety hazards, legal responsibilities, and critical control points.
  4. Determine whether the FSMS is effective in attaining your food safety objectives and customers’ wants and needs.
  5. The aim of these evaluations is to consider if the organization can maintain its commitment to food safety compliance by having a systematic approach to planning and action.  

 Final Certification – ISO 22000 FSMS Compliance

  1. Where both audits have been carried out successfully, the audit report is prepared thoroughly and steps undergo administrative verification, that audit report is finally reviewed independently. If the reviewer is satisfied with the auditor’s recommendations, the report is authorized and made available to the Certification Authority, commonly a Chief Executive Officer or Director, for approve the certification. 
  2. When the Certificate authority approves the certificate, your organization will receive a certificate identifying your compliance with ISO 22000 Standards globally with the FSSC 22000.
