In short

ISO 22000 certification in London at a glance

Between Park Royal's food factories and the restaurants, shops and offices they supply sits a long chain of handlers, and ISO 22000 is built for exactly that chain. It joins HACCP-style control with management-system discipline, covering suppliers, storage, transport and communication. ISO 22000 is the food safety management system standard: hazard analysis along the food chain, prerequisite programmes, control measures and communication with suppliers and customers. Sterling prepares the system from its London office, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included; the certificate comes from an accredited certification body, and national rules sit on the UK page. National law, regulators and accreditation detail sit on the United Kingdom page rather than here.

Local drivers

What drives ISO 22000 in London

Demand is buyer-led: ISO 22000 is asked for through customer, tender or supplier terms rather than by a London authority or zone rule.

Requirements

What ISO 22000 requires

Strip away the vocabulary and ISO 22000 requires a company to prove six things about keeping food safe from supplier to customer.

The basics of hygiene are in placePrerequisite programmes cover premises, cleaning, pest control, personal hygiene, water, maintenance and supplier approval.
You analysed the hazardsBiological, chemical and physical hazards are identified for each product and process step, and the controls needed are decided.
Critical controls are monitoredControl measures are validated, monitored and acted on when limits are breached, following HACCP principles.
Unsafe product does not leaveTraceability, handling of potentially unsafe product, withdrawal and recall are planned and tested.
Food safety information flows along the chainInformation is exchanged with suppliers, customers, authorities and your own staff so hazards are not missed.
Leadership reviews and improvesManagement sets food safety policy and objectives, the system is verified and audited, and it is updated as risks change.

ISO 22000 in London: questions clients ask

Who in London is a good fit for ISO 22000?

Any business that handles food: manufacturers, packers, distributors and caterers. ISO 22000 suits firms that want a management system covering hazards, prerequisite programmes and communication with suppliers. If a retailer insists on a GFSI-recognised scheme, FSSC 22000 may be the closer match.

Does ISO 22000 replace a HACCP plan?

It includes HACCP principles rather than replacing them: the hazard analysis and critical control points remain, within a management system with leadership, internal audit and improvement. A London food business with a working HACCP plan has already built much of what ISO 22000 needs.
