ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System Quality Manual

Dear All

How do I write Food Safety Management System quality manual as I am only familiar with ISO 9001:2000 Quality Manual.

Good Day

I think that the most appropraite approach is to use ISO 22000 standard as a base for your Manual on which you have same contents as standard plus reference to application of each clause to your spcefic company / enviornment. Food Safety/Hazard analysis /product description/Food Safety Team will be part of the manual either in body or as appendix

You can have a separate manuals for procedures , Job descriptions, WIs etc.

It is the same approach which we have sucessfully used in ISO 9001:2000 consultancy assignments!!!

The documentation pyramid will remail same . On top MANUAL , 2nd PROCEDURES, 3rd WIs , JDs etc, 4th Quality/Food Safety Records( You should tailor as per your spcefic requirements)

Hi, I'm new and my company going to do ISO22000, but I don't know how to start to write a FSMS? Anyone have sample or guideline what to write in FSMS. Thank You.

Dear MMM,

The ISO 22000:2005 standard is really the basis and starting point for your FSMS Manual where you should expand details of your own process system from thereon.

As a matter of fact, I had recently spent 3 days updating / upgrading a FSMS Manual and it took me a month to build one up from scratch but I must admit I included elements of BRC-Food inside the FSMS Manual just to satisfy everybody.

Dear All,

Regarding FSMS, I remember there are several threads on merging ISO 9000 with a HACCP system on this forum mainly adding the latter to the former. I presume the only reason for this is with certification targets in mind. Such a project will presumably be inefficient if the objective is obtain certification to ISO 22000 (new HACCP classifications + +?) as compared to starting directly from the latter. However if standards like BRC are being considered the idea is perhaps more useful.? If otherwise, is there really any benefit?

Personally I would be reluctant to promote ISO22000 to anybody as long as their current devotion to the oprp concept is maintained. And after seeing the queries coming in on BRC ver5, looks like IFS may have been offered more opportunities to penetrate the market if indeed UK customers start to widely accept it (I hv never worked with IFS but I hv to believe it is more intelligible than current BRC until someone demonstrates otherwise.). Would love to see some comparitive statistics on BRC / IFS / SQF2000 in UK (x/0.001x/0 ?)

@MMS, welcome to the forum !

As a starter, you are going to require knowledge on the developement of a (safety oriented), auditable, Management System driven by HACCP. In yr position I would seek professional advice in addition to availing of the extensive knowledge available on the IT and/or already existing on this forum.

After I just completed the QMS based on ISO 22000 toolbox for my company. Now the top management is asking me to help the company get the certification ISO 9001. Their are auditing firm in Life science including Food Defence and Medical Devices. More focuse in providing software development et web based solution.

Simon and others, could you please give me ideas on the bigest steps for my project plan?

Thank you in advances

Dear ki_prayong,

Many thks yr post. Document looks quite ambitious and quite impressive to me.

I guess the numbering is not intended to match any particular standard ?

Did notice that product recall is not covered much other than via Crisis Management, eg BRC requires mock recalls (from memory).

Rgds / Charles.C

Yes of course ! the topic were grouped by our team.
Crisis Management means Emergency preparation and response
FYI
