IMPLEMENTATION OF ISO 22000:2018 IN FAUNA CONTROL: A STRATEGIC APPROACH BY GRUPO MITERI THROUGH FUMIGACIONES JJMITERI

Food industry

Food safety management is essential to ensure that the food consumed is safe and healthy. In a world where quality and safety are crucial to protecting public health and maintaining consumer trust, international standards play a vital role. One of the most relevant standards in this context is ISO 22000:2018, which establishes requirements for a food safety management system. This standard is particularly important for companies involved in pest control within the food industry, such as Grupo Miteri, through its division Fumigaciones JJMiteri. Implementing this standard can ensure that pest control processes are carried out effectively, minimizing risks and protecting the integrity of food products.

ISO 22000:2018 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for a food safety management system. This standard applies to all organizations in the food supply chain, from primary production to processing, distribution, and related services. Below are the key aspects of the standard and its relevance to Grupo Miteri:

General Requirements of the Food Safety Management System

ISO 22000:2018 establishes the need for a management system that includes policies, objectives, and a plan for implementing food safety measures. This implies meticulous planning and the identification of hazards that may affect food safety.

Planning and Implementation of a Food Safety Management System

This includes hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP), which are essential for identifying and managing risks in the food supply chain. The standard requires organizations to assess these hazards and establish controls to prevent their occurrence.

Food Safety Management System

The standard requires a process-based approach to ensure the effectiveness of the system. This includes resource allocation, staff training, internal and external communication, and the implementation of corrective actions.

Continuous Improvement

The standard encourages regular review and continuous improvement of the management system to adapt to changes and new risks. Continuous improvement is essential for maintaining the effectiveness of the food safety management system.

Importance for Grupo Miteri and Fumigaciones JJMiteri

Implementing ISO 22000:2018 is crucial for Grupo Miteri and its fumigation division, JJMiteri, due to:

  • Effective Risk Control: The use of pesticides to control pests and fauna that may contaminate food products. Applying ISO 22000 ensures that these fumigation processes are carried out effectively by identifying and managing the risks associated with pests and harmful fauna.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Implementing the standard helps meet local and international regulations related to food safety, avoiding penalties and ensuring that processes comply with required standards.
  • Customer Confidence: Adopting practices certified under ISO 22000 enhances customer confidence in the safety and quality of the services offered. This is particularly important in the food industry, where consumer trust is paramount.
