While the specifics of an FSMS may vary depending on the organization, ISO 22000 outlines a core set of requirements that provide a roadmap for success. Here's a glimpse into some key requirements:
• Management Commitment: Senior management plays a crucial role in establishing a culture of food safety within the organization. demonstrating commitment through active participation and resource allocation is essential. • Food Safety Policy: A clearly defined food safety policy sets the overall direction for the FSMS. It should outline the organization's commitment to food safety and provide a framework for achieving food safety objectives. • Hazard Analysis and Control (HACCP): HACCP is a systematic approach to identifying potential hazards at each stage of the food production process. The standard requires implementing controls to minimize or eliminate these hazards. • Operational Controls: Organizations need to establish and maintain documented procedures for various food safety practices, such as sanitation, pest control, and temperature control.
