Tourism & Hospitality Food Safety
Provides requirements and guidelines for the design and implementation of a management system for food safety and quality in hotels and similar hospitality establishments.
ISO 22483 specifies requirements and guidelines for food safety and quality management in hotels and hospitality establishments, providing a sector-specific framework that complements ISO 22000. It addresses the unique food safety challenges of hotel kitchens, buffets, banqueting, and multi-outlet food service operations.
The hospitality sector faces distinct food safety risks due to high volume, varied menus, diverse customer groups, and continuous service operations. ISO 22483 provides practical guidance adapted to these operational realities.
ACI-certified auditors evaluate food safety management in hospitality settings, assessing the adequacy of HACCP plans, temperature controls, staff training, and allergen management in hotel and restaurant environments.
