ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management Systems Training Course

Introduction

In an increasingly interconnected global food supply chain, ensuring consistent food safety is a paramount concern for consumers, governments, and businesses alike. While HACCP provides a robust framework for hazard control, there's a growing need for a comprehensive, internationally recognized management system that integrates all aspects of food safety across an organization. This is where ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS) plays a vital role. ISO 22000:2018 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for an FSMS to enable an organization that is directly or indirectly involved in the food chain to plan, implement, operate, maintain, and update a food safety management system that provides products and services that are safe, in accordance with their intended use. It adopts a process approach, incorporating the principles of HACCP, Prerequisite Programs (PRPs), and the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle for continuous improvement. By providing a structured framework, ISO 22000:2018 helps organizations to identify and control food safety hazards, comply with regulatory requirements, and foster a culture of food safety excellence, thereby enhancing consumer confidence and facilitating market access. Without a thorough understanding of the requirements of ISO 22000:2018 and the practical knowledge to implement them, food businesses may struggle to meet global expectations, optimize their food safety performance, and achieve certification. Many food industry professionals are familiar with parts of food safety but lack the holistic, systems-based approach that ISO 22000:2018 demands for integrated food safety management.

Conversely, mastering ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management Systems equips professionals with the essential knowledge and practical skills to design, implement, maintain, and continually improve a robust food safety management system within their organization. This internationally recognized standard is crucial for ensuring consistent food safety, achieving regulatory compliance, enhancing customer trust, and gaining a competitive edge in the global food market. Our intensive 5-day "ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management Systems" training course is meticulously designed to equip food safety managers, quality assurance personnel, production supervisors, food technologists, internal auditors, and management representatives with the comprehensive theoretical knowledge and extensive practical, hands-on skills required to confidently interpret, implement, and audit an ISO 22000:2018 compliant Food Safety Management System.
