In today’s world, food safety is not only essential for protecting consumer health but also for ensuring the competitiveness of businesses in the market. Preventing potential hazards in food products and systematically managing production processes requires internationally recognized approaches. Among the most widely applied are HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and the ISO 22000 standard.

HACCP – the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points system – focuses on identifying potential risks in food production and implementing control measures to prevent them. Unlike relying solely on final inspections, HACCP ensures food safety throughout all stages of production.

ISO 22000, on the other hand, is an international standard for food safety management systems. It integrates HACCP principles while also encompassing organizational management, resource planning, communication, and continuous improvement mechanisms. This standard is applicable not only to manufacturing companies but also to all organizations involved in the food supply chain – from raw material suppliers to distributors and restaurant networks.

The key advantage of ISO 22000 is that it provides a systematic and comprehensive approach to food safety. By implementing this standard, organizations can:
🔹 Strengthen consumer trust,
🔹 Ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements,
🔹 Enhance access to global markets,
🔹 Proactively manage risks.
