Our Services

ISO 22000 Consulting Services

Each project is tailored to your organization's situation, size, and stage of readiness — scoped to what you actually need, not a fixed package.

Gap Analysis

A structured assessment of your current food safety practices against ISO 22000 requirements — covering your existing HACCP system, prerequisite programs, documentation, and management system elements. Delivered as a detailed gap report with a prioritized action plan so you know exactly what needs to be done and in what order.

FSMS Development & Implementation

End-to-end support to build your Food Safety Management System from the ground up — or strengthen an existing one. This includes food safety policy and objectives development, prerequisite program establishment, HACCP plan development, process documentation, and management review support.

HACCP Plan Development

Expert development or review of your HACCP plan — including hazard analysis, identification of Critical Control Points, establishment of critical limits, monitoring procedures, and corrective action protocols. Built to satisfy both ISO 22000 requirements and regulatory expectations.

Internal Audit

Expert-led internal audits covering audit planning, document and records review, HACCP and PRP verification, and a full audit report with corrective action guidance — identifying nonconformities and closing gaps before your external certification audit.

Certification Audit Preparation

Targeted preparation for Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification audits — including a pre-audit readiness review, documentation checks, corrective action resolution, and coaching for your team on what auditors look for and how to respond to findings.

Ongoing System Maintenance

Monthly, quarterly, or on-demand support to keep your FSMS current and effective — covering documentation updates, corrective action management, HACCP plan reviews, and preparation for surveillance audits. Fully flexible and scoped to match your organization's needs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does ISO 22000 consulting involve?

ISO 22000 consulting covers the full scope of building and certifying a Food Safety Management System — from an initial gap analysis identifying where your current practices fall short of requirements, through FSMS development, HACCP plan creation, prerequisite program establishment, internal audits, and certification audit preparation. The scope of each engagement is tailored to your organization's size, food chain category, current state, and timeline.

Who in the food chain needs ISO 22000?

ISO 22000 applies to any organization involved in the food supply chain — from primary producers and food manufacturers to processors, packagers, distributors, caterers, and retailers. It also covers indirect participants such as packaging material suppliers, ingredient suppliers, and equipment manufacturers whose products contact the food chain. Major buyers and export markets increasingly treat it as a baseline requirement for supplier approval.

What is the difference between ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000?

ISO 22000 is the international standard for Food Safety Management Systems. FSSC 22000 is a certification scheme built on top of ISO 22000 — it adds sector-specific prerequisite program requirements from the ISO 22002 series and additional FSSC scheme requirements, and is benchmarked by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). Organizations that require GFSI recognition — typically because major retail or food service customers demand it — need FSSC 22000. Those seeking a robust, internationally recognized FSMS without the GFSI requirement can certify directly to ISO 22000. We offer consulting for both standards.

How is consulting pricing structured?

We do not offer fixed packages because no two organizations are in the same situation. Pricing is based on the scope of work identified through the gap analysis and our initial consultation — covering the size and complexity of your organization, the services required, and the timeline.
