Frequently asked questions
Is ISO 22000 the same as ISO 9001?
No. ISO 22000 focuses on food-safety management, while ISO 9001 addresses the wider quality management system.
Can you support FDA/GSA readiness as well?
Yes. The scope can connect regulatory essentials with the longer-term ISO 22000 roadmap.
Do you provide laboratory testing?
Testing needs are identified during the project, but any required testing should be performed by an appropriate competent laboratory.
