ABSTRACT
ISO 22000 is the new international standard for food safety management systems (FSMS). Recognized worldwide, this universal standard harmonizes key requirements and overcomes the dif˜culties of various food safety standards by region, country, activity, organization, and food type (https://www.foodsafety.uk.sgs.com/westbury_dairies_case_study-4.pdf). ISO 22000 will help the organization to establish a FSMS and implement it in the food plant with proper improvement and update of the FSMS system. This standard promotes conformity of products and services to international standards by providing assurance about quality, safety, and reliability (Tajkarimi, 2007). The challenge for ISO 22000 is to be recognized by all segments in the food chain. It seems certain that the local national hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) standards will be replaced with ISO 22000. What is not yet certain is whether the retailer will accept it. One factor in favor of ISO 22000 is that its intent is global. Thus, as produce is increasingly sourced globally, con˜dence can be gained from one single universally accepted ISO standard (https://bvqi.com/webapp/servlet/ FileServlet?mode = download&…+Magazine.pdf).
