ISO 22000 Gap Assessment

We conduct an ISO 22000 Gap Assessment to evaluate existing food safety practices and systems against applicable ISO 22000 requirements.

The assessment helps identify existing strengths, gaps, food safety risks and improvement opportunities. The findings are used to develop a practical implementation plan.

ISO 22000 Implementation Consultancy

Our ISO 22000 Implementation Consultancy supports organizations in translating ISO 22000 requirements into practical food safety management processes.

We consider the organization’s activities, products, processes, food safety hazards, supply chain and existing practices while developing an appropriate FSMS.

Food Safety Hazard Analysis

Hazard analysis is a fundamental part of an effective Food Safety Management System. We support organizations in identifying potential biological, chemical and physical food safety hazards associated with relevant products and processes.

The assessment helps determine appropriate control measures and establish effective food safety controls.

HACCP Consultancy

Our HACCP Consultancy services help organizations establish a systematic approach to identifying and controlling food safety hazards.

We support the development and implementation of HACCP-based controls appropriate to the organization’s products, processes and food safety risks.

Prerequisite Programs

Prerequisite programs provide the basic conditions and activities necessary to maintain a hygienic and suitable environment for food production and handling.

We support organizations in establishing and improving relevant prerequisite programs based on their activities and food safety requirements.

Operational Prerequisite Programs and Critical Controls

We support organizations in determining appropriate operational controls for identified food safety hazards and implementing suitable monitoring and control methods.

This helps organizations maintain effective control over hazards throughout relevant food chain processes.

ISO 22000 Documentation

We provide support for developing and improving ISO 22000 Documentation appropriate to the organization’s activities and FSMS requirements.

This may include food safety policies, procedures, hazard analysis, HACCP-related information, operational controls, monitoring records, emergency procedures and other documented information needed to support effective implementation.

Food Safety Objectives and Planning

We support organizations in establishing relevant food safety objectives and planning actions to improve the effectiveness of the Food Safety Management System.

Objectives can address areas such as food safety performance, process control, employee competence, compliance and continual improvement.

Supplier and External Provider Control

Food safety can be affected by materials, ingredients, services and processes provided by external organizations.

We support organizations in establishing appropriate processes for evaluating and controlling relevant suppliers and external providers based on food safety risks and requirements.

Traceability System

We help organizations establish or improve traceability processes appropriate to their products, materials and food chain activities.

Effective traceability can support the identification and tracking of relevant products and materials throughout applicable stages of the process.

Food Safety Emergency Preparedness

We support organizations in identifying potential food safety emergency situations and establishing appropriate response arrangements.

This may include situations such as contamination, product incidents, equipment failure, utility interruption or other events that could affect food safety.

ISO 22000 Training and Awareness

We provide ISO 22000 Training and Awareness support to help employees understand relevant food safety requirements, hazards, controls and responsibilities.

Training can be aligned with employee roles and activities that may affect food safety performance.

ISO 22000 Internal Audit

Our ISO 22000 Internal Audit support helps organizations evaluate whether their Food Safety Management System has been effectively implemented and maintained.

Internal audits can identify nonconformities, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement before an external certification assessment.

Corrective Action and Continual Improvement

We support organizations in analyzing food safety nonconformities, identifying root causes and implementing appropriate corrective actions.

Our ISO 22000 Consultancy approach also focuses on continual improvement of the Food Safety Management System and food safety performance.

ISO 22000 Certification Support

We provide ISO 22000 Certification Support to help organizations prepare for an independent certification assessment.

Our support may include readiness assessment, documentation review, internal audit, corrective action and guidance on addressing identified gaps before the certification audit.
