ISO 22000 certification in Edinburgh at a glance
Edinburgh lists food and drink as a key sector alongside tourism, so producers, caterers and ingredient suppliers serve an unusually dense hospitality market. ISO 22000 offers those that want more than a HACCP plan a full food safety management system with hazard analysis, prerequisite programmes and supply-chain communication. Local business services come from the City of Edinburgh Council and Invest in Edinburgh, while legal and regulatory detail sits on the United Kingdom page. ISO 22000 combines hazard analysis with a management system for any organisation in the food chain, from producers to caterers. For ISO 22000 in Edinburgh, Sterling works from Sterling's London office, mixing site visits with remote sessions, and includes Effivity and Sterling Academy; an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

ISO 22000 in Edinburgh: questions clients ask
Who in Edinburgh is most likely to need ISO 22000?
Producers, bakers and packers are the first group, because chain customers want a managed system with traceability; catering firms serving hotels and visitor attractions are the second, because hospitality clients check suppliers' food safety management. It is voluntary unless a customer, tender or regulator makes it a condition.
How does ISO 22000 differ from HACCP for an Edinburgh caterer?
HACCP is a method for analysing and controlling hazards. ISO 22000 includes that method inside a wider management system with leadership, communication, prerequisite programmes, internal audit and improvement. A caterer serving hotels or attractions may choose it where clients want proof of the whole system, not only the plan.
