In short

ISO 22000 certification in Dallas-Fort Worth at a glance

The middle of a food chain is easy to overlook, but not by an auditor. Between a Frito-Lay or Kraft Heinz plant on the Dallas Regional Chamber's list and the retailer's shelf, product passes blenders, packaging converters, cold stores and distribution centres, many of them in AllianceTexas or the southern Dallas County inland port. ISO 22000 fits each of them. It applies to any organisation in the food chain and links HACCP principles with a management system, interactive communication and prerequisite programmes. It can stand alone or become the foundation for FSSC 22000 when a bigger buyer insists. Sterling builds the system from its New York office, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included, and an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

ISO 22000 in Dallas-Fort Worth: questions clients ask

Why would a distributor in Dallas choose ISO 22000?

Because the standard applies anywhere in the food chain, including warehousing and distribution, and customers want documented control of hazards in handling and storage. A distributor in southern Dallas County or at AllianceTexas can use it to win accounts without building a manufacturer's scheme.

Should a Texas food supplier skip ISO 22000 and go straight to FSSC 22000?

Go straight there only if your key buyers require it. FSSC 22000 builds on ISO 22000 with extra requirements, so starting with ISO 22000 is a sound route for businesses whose customers accept it. Ask your largest buyer which it recognises before planning the project.
