ISO 22000 certification in Cebu City at a glance
Food safety in Cebu City is a chain of hand-offs: hotels order from caterers, caterers from processors, and processors ship through the Cebu Baseport's Roro and cold-storage links. ISO 22000 speaks to every link at once. It builds hazard analysis and prerequisite programmes into a management system with communication up and down the chain, internal audit and management review, so a buyer can see that safety is run as a process and not left to individuals. Where a retailer or brand owner asks for FSSC 22000, ISO 22000 is its core, which makes this a sensible first step. Sterling prepares the system from its Manila office, and an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

ISO 22000 in Cebu City: questions clients ask
Who in Cebu City benefits from ISO 22000?
Businesses that make, store or move food for others: banquet suppliers to hotels, packers, cold stores and distributors using the port and Roro routes. The certificate tells a buyer that hazards are analysed and controlled within a managed system. Which standard the buyer prefers should be confirmed in its supplier terms.
Is ISO 22000 harder than HACCP for a Cebu kitchen?
It asks for more because it wraps HACCP in a management system: policy, objectives, internal audit, management review, communication along the food chain and continual improvement. A Cebu kitchen with a working HACCP plan has done a large part of the technical work, and the rest is organisation and records.
