In short

ISO 22000 certification in Kolkata at a glance

Food Park III at Sankrail gives Howrah a concentration of processors, and their retail and export customers are unlikely to take safety on trust. ISO 22000 provides what they want to see: communication along the food chain, prerequisite programmes such as hygiene, pest control and traceability, hazard analysis, operational controls, verification and continual improvement, all within a management system that is audited. The same logic applies to packaging suppliers, ingredient traders and cold-chain operators who feed or collect from the park and the port. Sterling's Mumbai office builds the system with your production and quality managers, and an accredited certification body issues the certificate. Licences under food law are a separate matter.

ISO 22000 in Kolkata: questions clients ask

Which Kolkata food businesses use ISO 22000?

Processors in the Food Park III at Sankrail and similar sites, plus ingredient, packaging and cold-chain suppliers around them. Buyers decide which scheme they accept, so ask retailers and importers whether ISO 22000, HACCP or a benchmarked scheme is expected.

What is the difference between ISO 22000 and a basic hygiene licence for a Kolkata processor?

A food licence from the authorities allows you to trade and is inspected for basic compliance. ISO 22000 is a voluntary management system that proves hazards are analysed, controlled, verified and continually improved, and is certified by an accredited certification body. They answer different questions.
