ISO 22000 Food Safety Management: evidence and continuity

Technical focus

Connect food-chain hazard analysis with prerequisite programmes and verified control measures.

Scope and checkpoints

• Food safety hazards
• Prerequisite programmes
• Traceability and recall

Records and evidence

• Product descriptions and flow diagrams
• Hazard analysis and control plans
• Monitoring and recall-test records

Preparation

Prepare your product groups, production flow and food safety controls.

Describe your approach to traceability and recall.

Check the current result

For ISO 22000 Food Safety Management, check the issuer’s record, legal name, applicable standard or programme, exact scope and dates. A logo or an old PDF does not by itself establish current validity.

Follow findings through to closure

Distinguish the immediate correction from action on the cause. Keep objective evidence of implementation and review whether the problem recurs; the applicable procedure determines who reviews closure and makes the decision.

Manage changes and follow-up

Report changes in products, sites, personnel or critical processes that affect the scope. Confirm surveillance, reassessment and renewal requirements with the relevant provider; do not assume one validity period or fee for every programme.
