Contact Us TodayISO 22000 finds its Kitchener-Waterloo audience among the region's ingredient manufacturers and internationally minded processors — companies supplying European or Asian B2B customers who manage suppliers through ISO-family systems, and manufacturers whose parent companies already run ISO 9001 or 14001 and want food safety in the same management architecture. Where GFSI recognition is required, FSSC 22000 extends the same core, making ISO 22000 a build-once foundation rather than a dead end.
Choose by customer geography and corporate structure: SQF rules North American retail supply chains, but ISO 22000's management-system architecture integrates cleanly with existing ISO certifications and speaks the language of European and Asian B2B buyers. If both worlds apply, FSSC 22000 — ISO 22000 plus additional requirements — earns GFSI recognition and covers the retail requirement too.
ISO 22000 sorts control measures into three tiers: prerequisite programs for the general environment, operational PRPs for specific significant hazards where a full CCP regime isn't warranted, and CCPs with critical limits and immediate corrective action. The oPRP category — with action criteria rather than critical limits — is the concept teams new to ISO 22000 find least intuitive, and we spend real training time on it.
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.
