ISO 22000 is an international standard specifying the requirements for a food safety management system, enabling any organisation in the food chain to demonstrate control of food-safety hazards. It integrates HACCP principles with management-system structure, prerequisite programmes, and interactive communication across the supply chain. It is widely certified by producers, processors, and logistics providers, including those operating cold-chain monitoring.

Certification gives downstream partners assurance that temperature-sensitive and perishable goods are handled within validated controls.
