ISO 22000 certification in Berlin at a glance
Chocolate in Berlin is old business: Berlin Partner notes that Sawade is the city's oldest chocolate maker and Fassbender & Rausch is described as the largest chocolate manufacturer in the world, while coffee, baked goods, beverages and meat products fill out the sector. Producers like these answer to food safety expectations all along the chain. ISO 22000 offers a certifiable framework for it: hazard analysis and critical control points sit inside a management system with prerequisite programmes, traceability, communication with suppliers and customers, internal audit and management review. It suits manufacturers, caterers, storage and packaging businesses alike, scaled to their size. Sterling builds the system from its Frankfurt office, with Effivity for records, and an accredited certification body issues the certificate; German food law is explained on the Germany page.

ISO 22000 in Berlin: questions clients ask
What does ISO 22000 add for a Berlin chocolate or bakery producer?
It adds a management system around the HACCP method: policy, responsibilities, supplier and customer communication, internal audit and management review, and it can be independently certified. A producer with a sound HACCP plan and good prerequisite hygiene programmes already has most of the foundation in place.
Will retailers accept ISO 22000 from a Berlin producer?
Some do and some ask for a benchmarked scheme such as FSSC 22000. Ask each major retailer or brand owner what it accepts, because the supplier terms decide. ISO 22000 is a good base either way and prepares the ground if a scheme is later required.
