ISO 22000 Recruitment

At QAagency, we specialise in connecting organisations with professionals experienced in implementing and managing ISO 22000 standards. ISO 22000 is the internationally recognised standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS), designed to ensure the safety and quality of food across the supply chain. From production to packaging, our recruitment services help businesses meet their food safety goals by sourcing top-tier talent.

ISO 22000 sets a framework for identifying and controlling food safety hazards. It integrates principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) with robust quality management systems. This standard is critical for ensuring safe food handling practices and maintaining consumer trust.

ISO 22000 is essential for organisations operating across the entire food supply chain, from production to end-user delivery. In food manufacturing, it helps manage risk and maintain strict hygiene and compliance standards in high-volume environments. Retailers and distributors rely on ISO 22000 to ensure the safety of food products during storage, transport, and last-mile delivery. In the hospitality and catering sector, the standard supports safe food handling and preparation practices, protecting both customers and brand reputation. Even the packaging industry benefits from ISO 22000, using it to safeguard food integrity through compliant, traceable packaging processes that prevent contamination.
