ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System Consulting

Safe food from farm to table

In the food sector, trust is your brand's biggest capital. ISO 22000:2018 gives everyone in the food chain an international discipline for identifying, managing and controlling food safety risks. HRQ makes food safety an operational standard.

  • Food safety
  • HACCP analysis
  • Records and traceability
  • 3D culture integration
  • Risk management

What makes our food safety work different?

We do not treat risks as a legal obligation only. With our traceability systems and cultural change models, we take your brand to global standards.

  • Risk-based approach (HACCP)

    We fully define your hazard analyses and critical control points (HACCP) and keep food-related operational risks to a minimum.

  • Traceability

    We make your food safety records, product traceability and supplier audits orderly and auditable.

  • 3D culture integration

    With our Thought–Emotion–Behavior (3D) model, food safety and hygiene awareness become a lasting habit for all your production staff.

  • A global standard

    By meeting international food safety requirements as well as local regulations, we make you more competitive in export and domestic markets.

End-to-end ISO 22000 solutions

At every step from analysis to certification, we build the structure that puts your food production lines under international assurance.

  • Gap analysis

    We carefully identify the weak points and operational gaps in your production sites and food safety lines.

  • HACCP plan and implementation

    We design your hazard analysis and critical control point (CCP) plans around your site's physical conditions, so they are dynamic and fully workable.

  • Documentation and hygiene procedures

    We prepare comprehensive manuals, prerequisite programs (PRPs) and instructions that secure food safety and lasting hygiene.

  • Staff training

    We give hands-on training on basic hygiene, food safety culture and monitoring critical controls to all staff who handle products on production and warehouse lines.

  • Internal audit and certification

    We prepare your system fully for impartial certification audits, design interim audits and keep the system running over time.

Frequently asked questions

The most frequently asked questions about the ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System, with expert answers.

Which parts of the food chain can get ISO 22000?

Everyone in the food chain can be certified: primary producers (farms and agricultural businesses), feed producers, food processors, wholesalers, logistics and storage companies, restaurants, and manufacturers of packaging materials.

What is the difference between HACCP and ISO 22000?

HACCP is an operational system that focuses only on hazard analysis and critical control points for food safety. ISO 22000 is a global management system standard that fully includes HACCP principles along with management processes, interactive communication and prerequisite programs (PRPs).

How long does it take to set up a food safety management system?

It usually takes 3 to 5 months, depending on the size of your business, the complexity of your production lines and your current hygiene standards.

What is the "food safety culture" highlighted in the ISO 22000:2018 revision?

Food safety culture means that hygiene and safety go beyond written rules and become a shared Thought–Emotion–Behavior (3D) pattern for every employee, from top management to the factory floor, a reflex across the organization.
