Contact Us TodayIn Chicago's food industry, ISO 22000 finds its audience among a specific slice of companies: ingredient and B2B manufacturers selling to multinational customers, and companies that already run ISO 9001 and want their food safety management system in the same architecture. Its management-system structure — context, leadership, planning, and continual improvement layered over HACCP — suits the city's flavor houses and ingredient processors whose customers span continents. Implementation typically runs 10 to 20 weeks; adding the ISO/TS 22002-1 prerequisite programs upgrades it to certifiable FSSC 22000.
If any customer requires GFSI-benchmarked certification, choose FSSC 22000 — plain ISO 22000 is not GFSI-recognized on its own. FSSC 22000 is ISO 22000 plus the sector prerequisite specification and additional requirements, so building to FSSC from day one costs little extra effort and yields a certificate retailers and multinationals accept.
Cleanly — both follow the same high-level structure, so document control, internal audit, management review, and corrective action processes can be shared rather than duplicated. For a Chicago plant already certified to ISO 9001, we extend the existing management system with the food-safety-specific clauses: hazard analysis, PRPs, and emergency preparedness.
An international ISO standard that integrates HACCP principles with a full food safety management system; highly recognized for export markets.
10 to 20 weeks for full FSMS implementation prior to certification.
