What are quality standards in the food industry? What food quality attributes are used?
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards assist food and beverage manufacturers in promoting brand security by ensuring the safety and satisfaction of their customers through reliable products. Customers gain confidence as a result of their actions, which is especially important at a time when foodborne outbreaks, recalls, and illnesses caused by contaminated foods are among the public’s top food-related concerns. Additionally, ISO standards are in place to aid in the promotion of product safety and reliability. Examples include ISO 10377:2013, which establishes guidelines for suppliers to follow in order to ensure that consumer products are safe.
The ISO certification process frequently enables businesses to improve their efficiency by implementing system and procedure improvements. Achieving certification not only helps businesses identify quality and safety measures that can be implemented in the future but also streamlines documentation, techniques, and procedures within the organization. Because of the requirements of ISO standards, it is necessary to develop a clearly defined plan that can benefit the entire facility.
1. No matter what industry or size an organization belongs to, ISO 9001 is the only standard in the ISO 9000 family that can be certified to and implemented by any organization.
2. An ISO 22000 food safety management system specifies the requirements for a food safety management system, which includes the processes and procedures that a company must follow in order to avoid hazards and promote product safety. This ISO standard can be certified by companies that are involved in the food and beverage industry.
3. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 22716:2007 standard specifies procedures for the manufacture, control, storage, and shipment of cosmetics and toiletries.
4. It is the only internationally recognized standard for occupational health and safety management, and it is known as ISO 45001 (Occupational health and safety management).
Food safety is protected by global controls and preventative measures. In many cases, the goals of different certification measures are similar: to ensure the highest level of quality and transparency throughout the food supply chain.
ISO 22000 is a globally recognized food safety management standard that applies to all organizations that are involved in the food production and distribution process. Primary producers such as farms and fishing, as well as food processors and manufacturers who package or can food, are all included in the food manufacturing industry. Companies that transport food, provide additives or packaging, or provide other food-related services can benefit from ISO 22000 certification. The ISO 22000 standard is included in the FSSC 22000 system requirements. The new ISO 22000:2018 standard aligns the structure with other international standards, such as the International Organization for Standardization.
The Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) 22000 is an addition to the ISO 22000 food safety certification system. The Global Food Safety Initiative has recognized the FSSC as a globally recognized standard for food safety (GFSI). Among the primary objectives of the standard is to ensure food safety during the primary production of animal products, perishable plant and animal products, food packaging products, and livestock and equine feed and nutrition.
