ISO 22000:2018
Food Safety Management System (FSMS) ensuring safe products across the entire global food supply chain.
Overview
ISO 22000:2018 is the international gold standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS), mandatory for food exporters and high-end retail suppliers seeking to guarantee product safety from 'farm to fork'. It integrates HACCP principles with a robust management framework to prevent biological, chemical, and physical hazards across the entire supply chain. For Indian food businesses, ISO 22000 builds on FSSAI basics to open doors to global export markets and premium hospitality contracts. VETREO Solutions provides specialized food safety consulting to ensure your processing, packaging, and distribution meets the highest international hygiene and safety standards.
