ISO 22000:2005 Food Safety Management Systems Documentation, Implementation and Internal Audit

The International Standard of food safety management systems (FSMS) (ISO 22000:2005) includes what made it the highest level of the activity of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in the field of food safety and hygiene. The uniqueness of ISO 22000:2005 is the main objective of its application to produce food products that don't cause any negative hygienic problems for the consumer.  This will be achieved through application of the standards that will control the food safety related hazards during all the phases that form the food chain.  This concept is called "Food Safety from Farm to Fork".

Thus, the objectives of this course are to concentrate on the understanding of the philosophy, concepts and elements of this International Standard which will enable the participants to plan, establish, implement, operate and maintain of the food safety management system (FSMS). Their food organizations will then be able to properly comply with the standard, statutory and regulatory.  Also, the organizations will then be able to prove their ability to control all the hazards that may affect the food safety and to assure that the produced food is healthy and safe
