The industry is tasked with conforming and maintaining food safety standards at various stages ranging from feed producers, primary producers, food manufacturers, transport and storage operators and subcontractors to retail and food service outlets combined with related organizations such as producers of equipment, packaging material, cleaning agents, additives and ingredients. The overabundance of different management systems and standards worldwide generates varying levels of food safety risks, confusion over requirements, and increased cost and complication for suppliers trying to conform to multiple programs.
Management systems, such as ISO 22000 make it easier for organizations worldwide to internationally harmonize requirements for the global food industry.
