In short

ISO 22000 certification in Hanoi at a glance

The meat-products plant that sent its environmental registration to Hanoi's zone Board in August 2026 will have been asked, sooner or later, for more than a hygiene checklist by its buyers. ISO 22000 is what they ask for: a food safety management system that links hazard analysis to the whole organisation. You set a policy, define the scope, run prerequisite programmes, analyse hazards, control critical points, plan traceability and recall, communicate with suppliers and customers, then audit and review. It suits caterers, packers and storage firms as well as plants. Sterling serves Hanoi from its Ho Chi Minh City office, builds the system with your team and prepares you for an accredited certification body.

ISO 22000 in Hanoi: questions clients ask

When does a Hanoi food business move from HACCP to ISO 22000?

When customers want a full management system rather than a single plan. ISO 22000 wraps HACCP in leadership, planning, communication, supplier control, internal audit and improvement. Processors in Hanoi's zones that sell to larger buyers often make the move after their first major customer audit.

Does ISO 22000 help non-manufacturers such as caterers in Hanoi?

Yes. It applies to any organisation in the food chain, including caterers, storage, transport and packaging suppliers. A catering or distribution business in Hanoi can scope it to its kitchens and cold chain. Check which licences apply to your premises with the competent authority.
