    Key Elements of ISO 22000:2005

    ISO 22000:2005 specifies the requirements for a FoodSafety Management System (FSMS) that combines thefollowing generally recognized key elements:

    - Interactive communication

    - System management

    - prerequisite programmes

    - CODEX HACCP principles

    It is a specification for any organization in the food

    The primary purpose of a food safety management system isto achieve a balance between a reactive and a preventative

    approach with greater emphasis or statistical weighting onprevention

    Simply stated, if we can understand what can go

    wrong we can prevent it from happening

    Terms that are often confused

    Hazard = agent causing the illness or adverse health affect.See ISO 22000:2005 3.3Risk= probability of getting ill be ingesting a certain hazard &the severity of that illness

    Hazard Analysis = Industry taskRisk Analysis = Governmental task

    Monitoring during implementation, verifying that the controlmeasure functions as intended. See ISO 22000:2005 3.12Verification after implementation, verifiable evidence thatthe monitoring works and the degree of intended control hasbeen delivered See ISO 22000:2005 3.16

    Validation prior to implementation, verifiable evidence thatthe control measure is capable of delivering the neededobjectives See ISO 22000:2005 3.15

    Purpose of a Food Safety

    Management System

    Organization provides safe food when it is prepared

    and/or eaten according to its intended use Demonstrate conformity and compliance

    Evaluate the overall effectiveness/maturity of the

    organizations Food Safety Management System Provide a basis for continual improvement

    organization

    Food Safety Risk Management

    as a Strategic Business Driver Secure in the knowledge that the product is safe when

    reaching the marketplace

    Legal requirement

    Saves money by targeting resources and reducing therequirement for end product testing

    Will yield a safer product in less time and at lower costwhich will satisfy customers requirements

    Establishes priority for improvement actions

    There is a demand from customers for a recognisedfood safety standard

    Social aspects of public health

    and food safety provision Food safety management is more important now than ever

    before due to:

    Increased number of pathogens on raw foods due tointensive farming, intensive production and reducednumber of slaughterhouses

    Increase in meals consumed outside the home Increase in ready prepared foods

    More foreign holidays

    Increased amounts of exotic imported foods

    Increase in numbers of susceptible people (elderly)

    Reduction in the use of preservatives
