Certification with ACS Canada

At ACS Canada, we are proud to support food, feed, and packaging organizations in achieving the highest standards of food safety and quality assurance. With our international accreditations and expertise, we provide ISO 22000:2018 certification accredited by IAS–IAF, and when required, through a recognized EU-accredited certification body.

Now, with the publication of ISO 22002-100:2025 – Prerequisite Programs on Food Safety, businesses have a new opportunity to strengthen their foundation for food safety management across the supply chain.

What is ISO 22002-100:2025?

ISO 22002-100:2025 is the latest standard in the ISO 22000 family, focusing on prerequisite programs (PRPs) — the essential conditions and activities that must be in place before implementing a food safety management system.

Unlike previous parts that addressed specific sectors (such as catering, transport, packaging, or feed), Part 100 unifies requirements into one standard, applying to the entire food, feed, and packaging supply chain.

Why is it Important?

Food safety failures often occur due to gaps in basic hygiene, cleaning, storage, or facility practices. ISO 22002-100:2025 ensures these essentials are standardized and effectively managed before hazard controls (HACCP) are applied.

By implementing this standard, companies can:

•Prevent contamination risks at the source

•Align with Codex Alimentarius principles

•Demonstrate compliance with GFSI-recognized schemes such as FSSC 22000

•Strengthen international trade credibility

•Build customer and consumer trust

Key Requirements of ISO 22002-100:2025

The standard defines core PRP requirements, including:

•Facility design and layout

•Cleaning and sanitation programs

•Personnel hygiene and training

•Waste management and pest control

•Handling, storage, and transport practices

•Packaging material safety and traceability

•Supplier approval and monitoring

ISO 22002-100 and ISO 22000:2018 – The Perfect Match

While ISO 22000:2018 sets out the framework for a Food Safety Management System (FSMS), ISO 22002-100:2025 provides the detailed operational requirements to support it. Together, these standards help organizations:

•Build a robust FSMS

•Ensure compliance with regulatory and customer requirements

•Prepare for certification under FSSC 22000 or equivalent schemes
