5 Overview
ISO 22000 is the international standard for food safety management systems, covering the entire food supply chain from farm to fork [1]. For supplements, ISO 22000 certification means the manufacturer has implemented a systematic approach to food safety including hazard analysis, prerequisite programs, HACCP principles, and management review. It is more comprehensive than GMP alone because it addresses the SYSTEM, not just individual practices [1]. ISO 22000 is particularly relevant for supplement manufacturers exporting to the EU, where food safety management systems are regulatory expectations [1].
