Technology has an important place in food production as it is in every field. With the developments in science and technology, storage periods of food produced on the one hand are increased and new production and transportation techniques are emerging. In addition, food-borne health problems are experienced not only in our country but also throughout the world. In this parallel food safety more is being discussed. Food safety, which is such an important issue for human health, is subject to the legal regulations of the countries and various legal measures are taken. On the other hand International Standards Organization has done its part in this regard. ISO 22000 Food Safety Management Systems standards have been prepared for this need and are international.

ISO 22000: 2005 is the right organization to demonstrate that they have installed and fulfilled their requirements. Food Safety Management Systems Certificate demand. Now, let's focus on how the certification process will be and how this document will be.

An organization, ISO 22000. If they want to produce production standards, they must first adapt certain basic criteria to their management systems. HACCP standards are at the top of these criteria. The HACCP Certificate has been abolished with the new Food Safety Management System, but the standards it contains are among the principles of the new system and must be complied with.

The generally accepted principles of the HACCP system are:

  • Hazard analysis should be done
  • Critical control points should be identified
  • Target levels and tolerances for critical control points
  • Establish monitoring methods to control critical control points
  • Corrective actions for nonconformities detected during monitoring of critical control points
  • Verification procedures to prove effectiveness should be identified in these studies
  • All these applications should be documented

The second criterion for the organization after the compliance with HACCP standards is the existence of a working quality management system. Although the Quality Management System is not necessarily a system to be established, it is important to exist.

ISO 22000: In order to request 2005 Food Safety Management Systems Certificate, it is important that the following studies have been completed:

  • Identification and assessment of hazards
  • Taking necessary precautions for dangerous situations
  • Definition of all stages of food production, including the raw material state of the product, additives used, packaging materials in contact with the product and end product properties
  • Monitoring of all the rings of the successive food chain
  • Planning of processes for verification and development
