ISO 22000: 2018 - Food Safety Management System
CoreQuality CB is an accredited certification body in Nigeria, offering ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System (FSMS) certification services to organizations across Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and other key commercial and agricultural hubs. Our services are tailored to help Nigerian food businesses comply with international food safety standards while meeting local regulatory requirements such as NAFDAC, SON, and relevant public health authorities.
ISO 22000:2018 is an internationally recognized standard that specifies the requirements for a Food Safety Management System. It integrates the principles of ISO 9001 (Quality Management System) with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP), providing a structured framework to identify, prevent, and control food safety hazards across the entire food supply chain.
In Nigeria’s food industry—covering food processing, manufacturing, packaging, distribution, agriculture, restaurants, and export businesses—compliance with food safety regulations is critical. Regulatory bodies such as NAFDAC and SON require strict adherence to safety and quality standards to ensure public health and consumer protection. ISO 22000 certification helps organizations meet these requirements, reduce contamination risks, and enhance product quality.
For Nigerian businesses, especially those supplying to supermarkets, export markets, or large distributors, ISO 22000:2018 certification is often a key requirement for market access, regulatory approval, and customer trust. It demonstrates a strong commitment to food safety, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement.
At CoreQuality CB, we understand the unique challenges faced by food-related businesses in Nigeria, including regulatory compliance, supply chain risks, and quality control issues. That’s why we provide tailored ISO 22000:2018 certification services to organizations in Lagos, Abuja, and across Nigeria, helping them implement effective Food Safety Management Systems and achieve certification efficiently.
Our ISO 22000 certification services include a comprehensive audit of your Food Safety Management System to ensure full compliance with ISO requirements, HACCP principles, and relevant Nigerian food safety regulations. With extensive experience in the food industry, our team of auditors provides practical guidance, actionable recommendations, and ongoing support to help your organization improve food safety performance, minimize risks, and build consumer confidence.
