Food safety is a subject that food producers, suppliers and consumers are particularly concerned about. The food sector now focuses on more production and service processes than before. On the one hand, it is also important for the organizations that produce goods and services in the food sector to be more profitable as well as for human health.

Therefore, to ensure that consumers receive reliable, quality and healthy products in compliance with international standards, ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System It was established. The HACCP system was already in place before this system was installed. However, this system included not only the whole food chain but also the production of goods or services. However, the system should not only cover the production of the product in the enterprise, but also many stages such as preparation, processing, packaging, storage, transportation and distribution, starting from the field to the final consumer. The ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System was established to include the HACCP system.

Since this new system includes international standards, organizations in the sector can now set their trade targets on a global level. At the same time, the ISO 9001 Quality Management System is in parallel with many points in many points with the Food Safety Management System together with the Quality Management System can be set up easily. Therefore, a company that establishes Food Safety Management System has taken a step towards institutionalization.

The controls in the end product are not considered sufficient to understand whether food production is healthy or not. Because food production it is a very long process and the checks to be performed on the final product in the final step of the production phase show only the final stage faults or potential hazards of the product.

The fact that food production is healthy and safe depends on the selection of raw materials required for production, the use of additives and auxiliary materials to be used, the selection and use of packaging materials, the evaluation and acceptance of suppliers, the stocking and distribution of the products, and many other factors. The ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System is a whole set of standards that cover the entire production chain.
