The ISO 22000 food safety management system has not undergone any changes since its 2005 release. The “High Level Structure” (HLS) change that started with ISO 9001 in 2015 finally came into force for ISO 22000.

ISO 22000 Scope

The food safety management system covers all food (including feed) businesses in the food chain. Regardless of the size of the business; food producers, feed producers, plant and animal growers, food raw material producers, retailers, food storage and distribution organizations, food service enterprises, cleaning and disinfection services, food packaging material manufacturers are within the scope of this standard.
