Contact Us TodayISO 22000 finds its Halifax audience among exporters selling into markets where ISO-based certification is the recognized currency — European and Asian ingredient buyers especially — and among the region's larger processors that want one management-system framework across food safety, quality, and environment. For seafood firms, the standard's structure maps well onto existing HACCP-based PCPs: the hazard-control core carries over, and the build effort goes into the management-system layer that CFIA compliance alone never required.
The management system around your hazard controls: documented context and interested-party analysis, food safety policy and measurable objectives, defined competencies, internal audit and management review cycles, emergency preparedness, and continual improvement mechanics. Your PCP's hazard analysis and controls slot into the operational planning clauses largely intact. Typical build time from a solid PCP base is three to five months.
If your buyers need a GFSI-recognized certificate — common with large retail and ingredient customers — FSSC 22000 is the answer, since it adds the sector PRP standard and additional requirements that earn GFSI benchmarking. If your market values the ISO framework itself without GFSI mandates, ISO 22000 alone is leaner. The delta between them is modest, so we usually recommend deciding before the build, not after.
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.
