Hi Ralda,
This is a common question I come across a lot. Both standards have great benefits but many individuals see them as a "money making" scheme. I feel differently.
For most organizations, ISO 22000 has meant:
-
Ability to give their customers and stakeholders confidence (with the ISO 22000 certification) that the organization has the ability to control food safety hazards and complies with food safety practices.
-
Ensure the ability to oversee all stages of the food supply chain, avoiding food safety hazards at each stage.
-
Embed and improved the internal processes needed to provide consistently safe food.
-
Provide continual improvement that ensures that the food safety management system is reviewed and updated so that all activities are continually optimized and effective.
-
Provide confidence that the practices and procedures are in place and that they are effective and robust
Everyone operating in the food industry should be aware of the advantages of implementing ISO 22000 within their organization. This certification provides companies with superior food safety and security, mitigates risk, improves quality and allows the operation of an efficient food supply chain. It is also possible to combine ISO 22000 with other management system standards, such as ISO 9001:2015, to maximize quality across their organization.
There are great benefits to be seen from implementing ISO 9001:2015.
I am currently writing an article about the importance of ISO 22000.
Kind Regards,
Richard.
