Green TQM Group provides practical ISO 22000 consultancy in Chennai for organizations across the food chain seeking to establish, implement, maintain and continually improve an ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System (FSMS).

Our consultancy helps organizations systematically identify food safety hazards, establish effective controls, implement prerequisite programmes (PRPs), strengthen HACCP-based processes, meet applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, improve traceability and prepare for certification audits

What is ISO 22000:2018?

ISO 22000:2018, the international standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS), integrates the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) with a structured management system approach. This comprehensive framework empowers organizations throughout the entire food supply chain to effectively manage food safety hazards and consistently deliver safe products. ISO 22000:2018 applies to any organization involved in the food chain, encompassing various stages such as farming, processing, packaging, storage, distribution, catering, and food service. Its applicability extends to organizations of all sizes and complexities, ensuring that food safety is prioritized regardless of the organization’s scale or operational intricacies.
