ISO 22000 certification in Sydney at a glance
Food safety in Sydney has two audiences: the council that approves premises and the buyers that decide who gets onto their shelves. City of Sydney publishes how food businesses, outdoor dining and mobile vendors are approved, and it rates venues under Scores on Doors. Out in the Western Sydney Employment Area, packers and distributors serve supermarkets and institutional customers that look for more. ISO 22000 supplies it: a management system that combines interactive communication, system management, prerequisite programmes and HACCP principles across the food chain. It suits manufacturers, packers and service operators that want one structure for hazards and for improvement. Sterling's Sydney office builds that structure with your teams, and an accredited certification body assesses it.

ISO 22000 in Sydney: questions clients ask
How does ISO 22000 differ from the City of Sydney food approval?
The council approval lets a business operate, while ISO 22000 is a voluntary management system that an accredited certification body can certify. A customer may ask for the second even if the first is in place. Check both sets of obligations with the council and your buyer.
Who in Sydney typically adds ISO 22000?
Producers, packers and distributors in the west that supply supermarkets or institutional buyers, plus larger catering groups. Smaller kitchens usually start with HACCP, then step up if a buyer asks for a recognised management system. Larger groups may later move to a benchmarked scheme if a retailer asks.
