In short

ISO 22000 certification in Hyderabad at a glance

Food processing around Hyderabad ranges from large dairies and beverage bottlers to spice, grain and ready-to-eat units, and the state counts special processing zones at places such as Kohir plus two mega food parks. Their customers, from retail chains to export importers, want proof that hazards are controlled rather than assumed. ISO 22000 supplies the framework: interactive communication along the food chain, a food safety management system, prerequisite programmes, hazard analysis and control measures, and verification. Sterling's Mumbai office builds the system with your quality and production teams, tracked in Effivity, and an accredited certification body issues the certificate. Licences from food authorities are separate.

ISO 22000 in Hyderabad: questions clients ask

Which Hyderabad food businesses use ISO 22000?

Dairy, beverage, grain, spice and ready-to-eat processors, plus the packaging and ingredient suppliers around them in the Hyderabad region. Retail and export buyers usually ask for a recognised food safety system. ISO 22000 suits food-chain organisations of all kinds; check which scheme your buyer accepts.

Does ISO 22000 replace FSSC 22000 in Hyderabad?

No, they are related but separate. FSSC 22000 uses ISO 22000 plus sector prerequisite programmes and additional scheme requirements and is benchmarked by the Global Food Safety Initiative; ISO 22000 alone is a management system standard. Choose according to what your retail or export customers will accept.
