ISO 22000 certification in Stuttgart at a glance
Perishable goods give the Grossmarkt in Wangen its rhythm: stalls full of produce, buyers from shops and caterers, and delivery vehicles queuing before dawn. The market describes itself as the main fresh-food centre of the south-west, which makes it a concentration of firms whose customers expect safe food. ISO 22000 is the international food safety management system standard. It folds hazard analysis and critical control points into a management system with prerequisite programmes, communication along the food chain, internal audit and review, and can be certified for any organisation in the chain, from processors to storage and catering firms. Sterling builds the system from its Frankfurt office, with Effivity keeping records, and an accredited certification body issues the certificate; German food law sits on the Germany page.

ISO 22000 in Stuttgart: questions clients ask
Who in Stuttgart should consider ISO 22000?
Wholesalers, caterers, packers and processors that want an independently audited food safety system. It suits firms of different sizes because the system is scaled to the business. Buyers decide whether they accept it or ask for a benchmarked scheme. Ask each main customer which scheme it accepts before settling scope.
How does ISO 22000 treat traceability for a Grossmarkt Stuttgart trader?
It expects the firm to identify where product came from and went to, with records good enough to support a withdrawal. For a produce wholesaler that means supplier lots, storage and customer deliveries linked in simple, reliable records. Mock recalls are a simple way to test whether the records really work.
