ISO 22000 – Food safety management system for organizations in Kuwait

ISO 22000 is the international standard for food safety management systems, and aims to help organizations operating in the food chain ensure the safety of food products by establishing an integrated management system that focuses on identifying, controlling, monitoring, and continuously improving food hazards. This system includes managing all stages of the food chain, starting from production, processing, storage, transportation, and even distribution and final delivery to the consumer. At GCC-CERT, we help food establishments in Kuwait implement the ISO 22000 system in a practical manner, starting with analyzing the current situation, identifying food hazards, then developing the system, training internal teams, and conducting internal audits, all the way to preparing for certification.
