One of the most essential aspects that play a significant influence in people’s lives in today’s living style is health, hygiene, and laws. Food laws differ depending on religion and geography.
Numerous worldwide Food Safety Certification bodies provide certificates that are following the religious rules of many religious communities to meet all of the needs of today’s world.
What is Food Safety Certification?
Food Safety Certification for an organization under ISO 22000, HACCP, or any other food safety standard is one of the ways to ensure that the certified company can undertake a food safety management system and has adhered to all processes, activities, products, and services by the organization’s food safety policy and ISO 22000 requirements.
Different stages of the certification
• Client’s application for certification
• Some offers from the certification firm
• The client accepts the offer, and the certification firm confirms the order.
• Before the audit norms (optional)
• (Stage 1 + Stage 2) of the audit program
• Upon successful completion of the certification audit, the certificate is issued.
• Surveillance audits at predetermined intervals
• After three years, a re-certification audit is performed.
Final words
Food safety certification, ISO 22000/HACCP, applies to all businesses, regardless of size. The only criterion for obtaining a food safety certificate is to be a part of the food supply chain. To ensure that the food is safe for human consumption, a proper demonstration by the organization is a must.
