Intertek Food Services emphasises the importance of ISO 22000
18 Jul 2013
Ana Cicolin, Food Services Manager at Intertek, was recently invited by the Institute of Food Technology in Brazil to speak at their VII Seminar about the Tools Application for HACCP, PPHO and GMP food safety certifications. The event was supported by the Sao Paulo Agency for Agribusiness, and the Secretary of Agriculture and Supply for Sao Paulo.
Over 100 engaged professionals from the food and beverage industry, packaging manufacturers and universities attended the seminar to understand more about the importance of ISO 22000.
As an established provider of globally recognised food safety standards and certifications, Intertek’s Ana Cicolin outlined the requirements for the Food Safety Management System that organisations need in order to demonstrate their capability in controlling hazards, to ensure that food is safe for consumption. The system focuses on four key elements; interactive communication, management systems, prerequisites programme (GMP) and HACCP principles.
Intertek conducts a variety of assessments from food production processes, quality management systems, testing programmes, factory environments, process and product controls, hygiene, audits, evaluations and certifications including the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), Food Safety System Certification (FSSC22000), British Retail Consortium Food Standard (BRC), International Food Standard (IFS), Safe Quality Food (SQF) and Safe Quality Food (SQF).
