In a world where food safety concerns are increasing, consumers and regulators expect businesses to maintain the highest levels of hygiene, quality, and traceability. That’s where ISO 22000 Certification comes in. This international standard provides a comprehensive framework for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS) across the food supply chain.
