In December 2007 the Aller Petfood factory in Denmark received the official certificate showing that the company meets the requirements of the ISO-22000 standard for food safety.
Although ISO-22000 is widely used by companies within the human food chain,
the Aller Petfood plant in Fredericia, Denmark, is the first petfood factory in
Europe.
ISO 22000:2005 specifies requirements for a food safety
management system where an organization in the food chain needs to demonstrate
its ability to control food safety hazards in order to ensure that food is safe
at the time of human consumption.
It is applicable to all organizations,
regardless of size, which are involved in any aspect of the food chain and want
to implement systems that consistently provide safe products. The means of
meeting any requirements of ISO 22000:2005 can be accomplished through the use
of internal and/or external resources.
