The new food safety management system standard, ISO 22000:2005, provides a framework for keeping the global food supply safe and will help organizations worldwide implement the Codex HACCP system for food hygiene in a way that does not vary from country to country.
The new standard allows organizations within the food chain to implement a food safety management system. These organizations include feed producers, primary producers, food manufacturers, transport and storage operators and subcontractors to retail and food service outlets, as well as producers of equipment, packaging material, cleaning agents, additives and ingredients.
