The Standards You Need To Have in Culinary Industry
Food industry standards play an important role in helping food businesses consistently produce safe food products that are compliant with legislation. Here are some of the standards that required to have in order to build your culinary business as a trustworthy partner for your customer.
- ISO 22000
(Food Safety Management System)
Established in 2005, ISO 22000 is an international standard, which specifies the requirements for food safety management systems. You will know all the processes and policies needed to mitigate risks and enhance accountability and transparency. By obtaining an ISO 22000 certification, you will prove your dedication to food safety to your customers and stakeholders.
- FSSC 22000
(Food Safety Systems Certification)
FSSC 22000 is a Food Safety Management Certification Scheme. It is is a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmarked food safety standard. The Food Safety Certification requirements provide a rigorous system to manage food safety risks and provide safe products for use by companies in the food industry. FSSC 22000 can be applied to organizations of any size or complexity in the food/feed supply chain.
- HACCP
(Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point)
HACCP certification is an international standard defining the requirements for effective control of food safety. Proper implementation of a HACCP program helps reduce the likelihood of customer complaints or a recall by identifying and controlling potential hazards which may come from raw materials, facility processes, and human error.

It covers all aspects of production from the starting materials, premises, and equipment to the training and personal hygiene of staff.
