The Release of the ISO-22000 Food Safety Procedure Manual

In the past few articles, we have shared some of the things going on at Bizmanualz to help you improve your business. For example, the Internal Auditor course has been redesigned and improved because internal auditing is an important, yet frequently overlooked, component for compliance and for process improvement. Bizmanualz is also expanding to include a new state of the art, multi-media Bizmanualz Learning Center. The final touches are being applied now, and the Learning Center will be inaugurated with the Lead Auditor course scheduled for October 1-4. The Learning Center will provide a more comfortable, inviting, and enriched learning experience for those who attend our sessions.

The other exciting thing happening at Bizmanualz this month is the release of the Spanish language version of the ISO 22000:2005 Food Safety Management Manual titled Bizmanualz ISO 22000 Manual para la Seguridad en los Alimentos Políticas, Procedimientos, y Formas. The original English version was released in January 2006. Completing the Spanish language version is the result of a nearly year long collaboration with college interns from Spanish speaking countries and working closely with translation consultants.

Food Safety Concerns

We are all aware of concerns about product safety, and the concern is even greater with the safety of food and food-related products. We can expect to see increasing international, national, and state/local regulations in an attempt to ensure safe products are reaching the market place. To prevent cumbersome duplication and confusing contradictions caused by multiple layers of laws and regulations, ISO 22000 is increasingly becoming a food industry standard that regulators at all levels are looking to for guidance and to use as a foundation to create meaningful, streamlined regulations.

With the Bizmanualz ISO 22000 Manual para la Seguridad en los Alimentos Políticas, Procedimientos, y Formas, we can help more businesses along the food production chain, particularly those in Spanish speaking countries or with Spanish speaking employees, comply with ISO 22000 standards. By complying with this standard, a company demonstrates that their system meets the requirements established by suppliers, customers, and other parties in the food chain, and it can assist in placing guards against contamination that may enter the food chain from multiple points.

Easily Edited, Customizable Food Safety Procedures:
A Real Time Saver

As is the case with all Bizmanualz Policy, Procedure and Forms manuals, purchasers of the Bizmanualz ISO 22000 Manual para la Seguridad en los Alimentos Políticas, Procedimientos, y Formas get all the content in a convenient three-ring binder as well as on a CD in Microsoft Word format. So all the policies, procedures and forms can be easily edited and customized to fit any organization’s needs. Bizmanualz also offers an ISO 22000 Food Safety Lead Auditor Course to help those involved in the food industry learn and comply with ISO 22000.

Also, like all Bizmanualz policies, procedures and forms, the content has been professionally researched and written, and then reviewed by industry experts. Anyone wanting to develop and implement a policy and procedure manual for their food industry organization will be well on their way after purchasing the English or Spanish version of the ISO 22000:2005 Food Safety Management Manual. Using our manual as a starting point for food safety or any of the business segments covered by or policy, procedure and forms product line (Accounting, Sales & Marketing, Computer & Networking, and many more) means you can save 50% – 80% of the typical development time.

So that’s what’s happening at Bizmanualz.
