ISO 22000 certification in Guangzhou at a glance
Not every Guangzhou kitchen is a restaurant. The Airport Economic Zone's catalogue encourages airline meal delivery and cold-chain transport of perishables and fresh produce, and the zone administration reported in 2022 faster customs clearance for imported pasteurised milk. Caterers, packers, importers and chilled-goods carriers serving that traffic need a food safety management system that covers the whole chain, and ISO 22000 supplies it. It combines hazard analysis on HACCP principles with prerequisite programmes, traceability, communication with suppliers and customers, and emergency readiness, all inside a management system with audits and reviews. It suits businesses whose buyers want certification but not a named scheme. Sterling builds it from its Shanghai office and prepares sites for an accredited certification body, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included.

ISO 22000 in Guangzhou: questions clients ask
When is ISO 22000 the right choice for a Guangzhou importer of chilled food?
When customers want certified control across receipt, storage, repacking and dispatch, with traceability and supplier communication, but have not named a benchmarked scheme. The standard wraps hazard analysis in a management system with audits and reviews. If a retailer insists on FSSC 22000, ISO 22000 is the foundation to build on.
How does traceability work for imported goods passing through the airport zone?
A traceability test links each outgoing batch back to the incoming lot, supplier and storage conditions, and forward to the customer, within a time the customer expects. The standard requires the system to be tested, not just documented. Importers who repack or split loads in bonded areas should test those steps especially.
