ISO 22000 certification in Newcastle at a glance
Food safety touches Newcastle from two directions. On the quay, Port of Newcastle lists grain and orange juice concentrate among its cargoes, so storage and handling firms serve customers who care about contamination and traceability. In the east end, the city is preparing for a record cruise season, and City of Newcastle reminds food and drink businesses that legislation requires them to comply with safety regulations. ISO 22000 offers a management system that spans both: interactive communication along the food chain, system management, prerequisite programmes and HACCP principles, with leadership, planning, audit and improvement around them. Sterling serves Newcastle from its Sydney office, builds the system with your teams, and prepares an accredited certification body's audit.

ISO 22000 in Newcastle: questions clients ask
Who in Newcastle considers ISO 22000?
Operators storing or handling food-grade cargo, food producers selling to retailers, and larger catering groups serving ships, events and institutions. They want one recognised management system for hazards, prerequisites and communication, rather than separate plans on separate sites. Some also ask for evidence that suppliers use the same system.
Does City of Newcastle approval make ISO 22000 unnecessary?
No. The council's rules are legal requirements for food and drink businesses, while ISO 22000 is a voluntary management system that buyers may ask for. One does not replace the other, so confirm the council's requirements and your customer's expectations separately.
