In short

ISO 22000 certification in Davao City at a glance

Fruit leaves Davao in boxes, fish in ice, and processed food in cartons, each passing through several hands before it reaches the buyer. ISO 22000 gives that chain a common language. It asks an organisation to analyse hazards, run prerequisite programmes and operational controls, communicate with suppliers and customers, and review and improve the system through audit and management review. For Davao processors, exporters and handlers around the Daliao fishport area, a certificate shows that safety is managed throughout and not left to a single inspection. Buyers decide whether they require it. Sterling builds the system from its Manila office, with Effivity for records and Sterling Academy for staff training; an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

ISO 22000 in Davao City: questions clients ask

What does ISO 22000 give a Davao processor beyond HACCP?

It wraps HACCP in a management system: policy, objectives, communication with suppliers and customers, internal audit, management review and continual improvement. For a Davao processor selling to several buyers, one certificate shows system-level control. It also forms the core of FSSC 22000 should a buyer ask for that scheme.

Which Davao operators are likely to be asked for ISO 22000?

Packers, processors and exporters of farm and fish products, plus cold-storage or terminal operators that handle goods owned by other firms. Importers and retailers typically request it in their supplier terms. Read the buyer's wording closely, because some buyers name one specific scheme.
