ISO 22000 certification in Calgary at a glance
Where does ISO 22000 fit in a city better known for oil and gas? In the food chain that quietly supports it. Calgary Economic Development lists agribusiness among its key industries, and the warehouses and distribution centres in the Northeast and Southeast industrial districts move packaged and chilled food across the region. The standard gives such businesses a single food safety management system: HACCP-based hazard analysis, prerequisite and operational programmes, communication along the chain, emergency preparedness, internal audit and continual improvement. It is more flexible than a retailer-benchmarked scheme. Sterling's Toronto office serves Calgary food businesses, and an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

ISO 22000 in Calgary: questions clients ask
Is ISO 22000 suitable for Calgary food distributors?
Yes. The standard applies to any organisation in the food chain, so distributors, packers and storage firms can use it as well as manufacturers. Scope the certificate to what you actually do, for example storage and distribution, and confirm with your customers that they accept it.
How much of ISO 22000 is already covered by a good HACCP plan in Calgary?
A good HACCP plan covers the hazard analysis and control core. ISO 22000 adds the management system around it: leadership, policy, communication with suppliers and customers, prerequisite programmes, emergency preparedness, internal audit and management review. That is where most of the extra work lies.
