All enterprises in the food chain must implement the new standard ISO: 22000:2018, which stands for food safety management system. It helps in setting the requirements for a food safety management system and can be certified to. Consumer demand for safe food has been constantly increasing. As a result, several laws and regulations are in place to ensure food safety. Unbelievably, there are more and more national standards. Global harmonization is therefore required, and ISO is attempting to do so via ISO 22000. The standard is a supplement to ISO:9001 in that it addresses concerns specifically linked to food safety and offers a strategy that can be integrated with ISO 9001.

Though it is not a replacement for ISO 9001, businesses in the food industry may view ISO 22000 as being more important commercially than ISO 9001. This is especially true given the mounting pressure on the food industry to show that it is successfully managing food safety in the wake of the widely reported food scares around the world. It is a prevention-based strategy for food safety that finds and stops microbiological, chemical, and other risks in the food-based business. It specifies the actions an organization must take to demonstrate that it can manage risks to food safety in order to ensure that food is safe and that any business can use it regardless of how much or where it is in the food chain. It covers a body with the HMC-US ACCREDIATION for Rs. 9000, the EIAC IAF for Rs. 15,000, and the EGAC for Rs. 13,500.
