ISO 22000

A hazard assessment must be conducted to determine, for each food safety hazard identified, whether its elimination or reduction to acceptable levels is essential to the production of a safe food, and whether its control is needed to enable the defined acceptable levels to be met. Each food safety hazard must be evaluated according to the possible severity of adverse health effects and the likelihood of their occurrence. The methodology used must be described, and the results of the food safety hazard assessment recorded.
