ISO 22000 certification in New York at a glance
Food safety in New York is built for scale: millions of meals a day depend on suppliers who store, cut, pack and deliver. Hunts Point is the best-known concentration, with its food distribution centre covering 329 acres, but commissaries and growing brands elsewhere in the city face the same buyer questions. ISO 22000 answers them with a management system that combines HACCP, prerequisite programmes and the Annex SL elements of policy, objectives, internal audit and management review. The Health Department's non-retail processing permit is a legal requirement and a different thing. Sterling's New York office builds the system on the production floor and in the cold store, trains handlers through Sterling Academy, and prepares the site for an accredited certification body. Local questions follow.

ISO 22000 in New York: questions clients ask
Does the non-retail processing permit replace ISO 22000?
No. The Health Department permit lets a processing establishment operate legally in the city; ISO 22000 is a voluntary management-system standard that buyers may require. The two work together, because an organised food safety system makes inspections easier. Confirm permit rules with the Department.
Why choose ISO 22000 over HACCP alone in New York?
HACCP controls hazards at the process level; ISO 22000 wraps it in policy, objectives, internal audit and review so that the whole business owns food safety. Distributors and processors at Hunts Point often move to it when a customer wants evidence that the system is managed, not just documented.
