The systematic approach developed and implemented by businesses to ensure food safety is called the "Food Safety Management System." This system aims to identify, evaluate, and control food safety risks throughout the process from production to consumption.

The ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System is a management model established on the basis of risk analyses and preventive control measures to ensure that businesses produce safe food. This standard defines the procedures and best practices required to ensure food safety at all stages of the food chain (from raw materials to the final product until consumption).

FSSC (Food Safety System Certification) 22000 is a food safety management system certification program based on the ISO 22000:2018 standard and recognized by GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative). This program defines the requirements for establishing, implementing, and continuously improving food safety management systems.

ISO 22000:2018 and FSSC 22000 are not product standards but system standards, focusing not on what is produced but on how it is produced. They are based on monitoring and continuously improving food safety performance. They require compliance with the conditions defined by relevant legislation and laws regarding food safety factors.

• The impact and risks of company activities on food safety are identified and controlled, thereby reducing factors that negatively affect food safety.
• Costs arising from food safety risks are reduced.
• Compliance with food safety-related laws and regulations is ensured.
• Food safety risks that may arise in emergencies are reduced or completely eliminated.
• Compliance with legislation and regulations can be demonstrated to legal authorities through a documented food safety management system and the FSSC - ISO 22000:2018 Certificate.
• Recognition is achieved both nationally and internationally, enhancing the organization's prestige.
• Training provided to company personnel increases food safety awareness among employees.
• Working in a facility that produces safe food motivates employees.
• Consumer expectations regarding food safety are met, and the chance to reach and win over conscious consumers increases.
• Resources are used effectively (savings in raw materials, energy, water, etc. are achieved).
• Food safety risks are reduced, protecting consumer health.

The implementation of the FSSC - ISO 22000:2018 standard enables organizations to enhance their food safety performance, ensure customer satisfaction, and gain a competitive advantage in the market.
