PAS 220

PAS 220:2008 has been developed to specify requirements for prerequisite programs to assist in controlling food safety standards within the manufacturing processes of the food supply chain and is intended to be used with ISO 22000.

It specifies requirements for establishing, implementing and maintaining prerequisite programs to assist in controlling food safety hazards in the food manufacturing processes of the food supply chain. Applicable to all organisations involved in the food manufacturing processes of the supply chain, this specification not designed or intended for use in other parts of the food supply chain.

The development of PAS 220 was sponsored by the Confederation of the Food and Drink Industries of the European Union (CIAA), now known as FoodDrinkEurope, the largest trade body representing the interests of the food and drink industry.

Our technical specialists were members of the PAS 220 development steering group which also included major food manufacturers, Danone, Kraft, Nestle and Unilever and representatives from the Food and Drink Federation (FDF), McDonald’s, General Mills Europe (representing the FDF Food Hygiene Committee), and French National Association of Food Industries (representing CIAA).

How can PAS 220 benefit my organisation?

There are good commercial reasons why food manufacturers should consider compliance – and independent certification – to this specification.

  • This specification has been developed and is supported by key food manufacturers
  • It has been designed to work with ISO 22000
  • Meets the requirements of the prerequisite programs of food manufacturing stakeholders
  • Seamless integration with other standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 so minimising duplication and reducing costs.

Importantly this specification allows for external certification. LRQA is ideally placed to offer a robust assessment against PAS 220. As a contributor to the steering group who developed PAS 220 we have in depth knowledge and the expertise to offer a robust and pragmatic assessment.
