Who benefits from ISO standards ?

Industry 

Farmers, manufacturers, retailers and service providers benefit from not having to comply with multiple specifications and requirements for different markets. ISO standards make industry more competitive and promote global trade. They disseminate best practice and innovations so that industry does not need to reinvent the wheel, while at the same time facilitating market access to the latest technologies.

 

Regulators

Regulators can rely on trusted internationally harmonized solutions, which are continually reviewed and improved, as a technical basis for market-friendly regulations that meet the expectations of citizens.

 

Consumers

ISO standards ensure the safety and quality of products to protect consumers worldwide. They address issues of concern to consumers such as nutritional value, labeling and declaration, taste, hygiene, genetically modified organisms, limits on additives, pesticides, contaminants, and so on.

Why ISO standards for food ?

 

Today more than ever, food products regularly cross national boundaries at every stage of the supply chain, from farm to fork.

 

ISO International Standards create confidence in the products we eat or drink by ensuring the world uses the same recipe when it comes to food quality, safety and efficiency.

 

ISO provides a platform for developing practical tools through common understanding and cooperation with all stakeholders on board, from agricultural producers, to food manufacturers, laboratories, regulators, consumers, etc. Working through its network of national members, its standards bring together the foremost expertise in the world and disseminate it to both developed and developing countries.

 

ISO standards are powerful tools for taking action on global challenges like sustainability and climate change by for example, disseminating best practice on new technologies less detrimental to the environment. By implementing voluntary ISO standards, companies make a proactive commitment to the principles they stand for: quality, transparency, accountability and safety.

​

The ISO food standards

  • create confidence in the products we eat and drink

  • provide benefits for all participants in the supply chain, from farm to transportation and logistics, from manufacturing to retailing and services, from consumers to regulators and analytical laboratories

  • brings all stakeholders on board to share best practice, promote state-of-the-art technology, and ensure safety and quality

  • ​

ISO 22000:2005 sets out the requirements for a food safety management system and can be certified to. It maps out what an organization needs to do to demonstrate its ability to control food safety hazards in order to ensure that food is safe. It can be used by any organization regardless of its size or position in the food chain.
