In short

ISO 22000 certification in Edmonton at a glance

Edmonton Global puts the region's farm operations at more than 4,655 and describes a food sector that ships products out through a trimodal inland port, a Foreign Trade Zone and an airport cargo village. Between farm and customer sit processors, packers, cold stores and forwarders, each audited by someone downstream. ISO 22000 gives them a single food safety management system: hazard analysis in the HACCP tradition, prerequisite and operational programmes, communication along the chain, emergency preparedness, internal audit and continual improvement. It is flexible enough for a small packer or a cold-chain operator, and often the first step towards a retailer-benchmarked scheme. Sterling's Toronto office serves Edmonton food businesses; an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

ISO 22000 in Edmonton: questions clients ask

Is ISO 22000 useful for an Edmonton exporter of food products?

Often, because overseas importers and retailers ask exporters for a documented food safety management system. ISO 22000 offers one, built on HACCP principles. If a buyer insists on a benchmarked scheme, FSSC 22000 may be named instead, so confirm which they accept before investing.

Can a cargo-village or warehouse operator near Edmonton use ISO 22000?

Yes, since the standard covers any organisation in the food chain, including storage, transport and distribution. Scope the certificate to what you do, such as receiving, cold storage and dispatch, and agree the expectations with your customers. Handling only sealed packaged goods can reduce the hazards to manage.
