In short

ISO 22000 certification in Brisbane at a glance

Brisbane's food chain is long: Choose Brisbane lists export-certified abattoirs and processors, the port offers storage land at Port West, and the airport runs 24/7 cargo operations. ISO 22000 serves businesses along that chain who need more than a HACCP plan on a wall. It is a certifiable management system for food safety covering leadership, communication, prerequisite programmes, hazard analysis, operational control, verification and improvement, and it applies to processors, packers, transporters and storage operators alike. Sterling's Sydney office takes your existing HACCP records and food-safety routines, builds the system around them, trains internal auditors and prepares you for an audit by an accredited certification body. Council licensing under the Food Act 2006 is separate and remains with Brisbane City Council.

What drives ISO 22000 in Brisbane

Demand is buyer-led: ISO 22000 is requested through customer, tender or supplier terms rather than by a Brisbane authority or zone rule.

Requirements

What ISO 22000 requires

Strip away the vocabulary and ISO 22000 requires a company to prove six things about keeping food safe from supplier to customer.

The basics of hygiene are in placePrerequisite programmes cover premises, cleaning, pest control, personal hygiene, water, maintenance and supplier approval.
You analysed the hazardsBiological, chemical and physical hazards are identified for each product and process step, and the controls needed are decided.
Critical controls are monitoredControl measures are validated, monitored and acted on when limits are breached, following HACCP principles.
Unsafe product does not leaveTraceability, handling of potentially unsafe product, withdrawal and recall are planned and tested.
Food safety information flows along the chainInformation is exchanged with suppliers, customers, authorities and your own staff so hazards are not missed.
Leadership reviews and improvesManagement sets food safety policy and objectives, the system is verified and audited, and it is updated as risks change.

ISO 22000 in Brisbane: questions clients ask

Is ISO 22000 the same as HACCP for a Brisbane processor?

Not quite. HACCP is one hazard analysis method, whereas ISO 22000 places it inside a certifiable management system with leadership duties, communication, prerequisite programmes, internal audit and improvement. Processors here often have HACCP records already, which leaves the surrounding system to formalise.

Which Brisbane food businesses choose ISO 22000?

Processors, ingredient suppliers, packers and logistics operators whose customers want a certified system but not necessarily a GFSI-recognised scheme. Brisbane's meat and cold-chain base supplies plenty of candidates. Compare each customer's written requirements first, since some buyers name one specific scheme and will not accept another.
