NSF International Now Accredited
to Register Food Safety
Management Systems
NSF International, a food safety auditing and certification service company, has announced that it has
obtained ISO 22000
accreditation from
the ANSI-ASQ
National
Accreditation
Board (ANAB). ISO
22000 accreditation enables NSF International to register food
safety management systems for companies worldwide.
Maintaining food safety throughout
the entire global supply chain has become a key priority for food companies, including crop producers, food
manufacturers and processors, and producers of equipment and packaging materials. Food companies are demanding
that quality assurance standards and
systems be in place to enhance their
overall safety and quality efforts, and
implementing ISO 22000 is an effective
way to demonstrate this commitment.
Earning accreditation for ISO 22000
enhances NSF International’s credibility in the worldwide food market and
complements NSF’s existing portfolio
of food safety management services, including certifications to Global Food
Safety Initiative (GFSI)*-benchmarked
standards such as Safe Quality Food
(SQF) and British Retail Consortium
(BRC).
