ISO 22000

ISO 22000 support for food businesses that need a formal safety system, not just a licence.

We help build the food safety management system ISO 22000 requires — including its HACCP-based hazard controls — and prepare you for certification.

01|OVERVIEW

What is ISO 22000?

ISO 22000 is the international standard for Food Safety Management Systems. It combines general management-system requirements with HACCP-based hazard control, aimed at any organisation in the food chain — from producers to packagers to distributors.

It is broader than the FSSAI licence required to operate legally in India: FSSAI licensing is a statutory requirement, while ISO 22000 is a voluntary management-system certification often sought by businesses supplying larger retailers, exporters, or food-service buyers who want documented assurance of food safety practice.

Certification is issued by an independent accredited certification body. Gurur Consultancy helps assess your current food-safety practices, build the required documentation and hazard-analysis records, and prepare you for the audit.
