ISO 22000 certification in Dammam at a glance
For a food producer in Dammam, ISO 22000 is the full management-system answer to food safety. It combines the HACCP principles with prerequisite programmes and the communication needed along the food chain, so suppliers, the plant and customers share one picture of the hazards. Dammam 2nd Industrial City lists food and beverages as a target sector, and its named companies include the Saudi Company for Light Snacks (PepsiCo), while King Abdulaziz Port feeds export and distribution routes. An accredited certification body grants the certificate after its audits. Sterling sets up the system with the site team, served from Sterling's Riyadh office, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included. Regulators and accreditation: see the Saudi Arabia page.

ISO 22000 in Dammam: questions clients ask
Which Dammam food businesses choose ISO 22000?
Producers that want a full management system rather than a single-site HACCP plan: manufacturers on the Dammam 2nd Industrial City estate and suppliers using King Abdulaziz Port for export or distribution. Buyers often decide the scheme, so check whether yours prefers ISO 22000 or FSSC 22000.
How does ISO 22000 relate to HACCP for a Dammam plant?
ISO 22000 contains the HACCP principles and wraps them in a management system with prerequisite programmes and communication along the food chain. A Dammam plant with a working HACCP plan therefore has a head start, but it still needs the management-system elements before certification.
