ISO 22000 2005
FOOD SAFETY GAP ANALYSIS TOOL

ISO 22000 is a Food Safety Management Standard

The following material will introduce our ISO 22000 Gap Analysis Tool.
However, it will not present the complete product.  Instead, it will show
you how our Gap Analysis is organized and how it is used. In addition,
we will show you an example of our approach. Once you've examined
our approach, we hope you'll consider
purchasing our complete
ISO 22000 2005 Food Safety Gap Analysis Tool (Title 56).

ISO 22000 Food Safety Gap Analysis by Praxiom Research

Our Gap Analysis Tool will allow you to compare your current food safety
practices with the new ISO 22000 2005 food safety management standard.
This comparison will pinpoint the areas that fall short of the new standard
(the gaps). Once you know where to focus your attention, you can begin
to make the changes that are needed to comply with the new ISO standard.
By using this approach, you will not only comply with the new ISO 22000
standard, but you will also improve the overall performance of your
food safety management system (FSMS).

Our gap analysis process consists of five questionnaires, one for each the
five sections that make up the core of the ISO 22000 standard (Parts 4 to 8).
For each question, two answers are possible: YES or NO. Please answer
each question by selecting one of these two answers.
A YES answer
means you’re in compliance with the standard while a NO answer means
you’re not in compliance. NO answers reveal gaps that exist between the
ISO 22000 standard and your organization’s food safety practices. To the
right of your answers, you will also find a space that you can use to
record any comments or observations you might have.

We've also used paragraph indents to distinguish between general
questions and specific questions. This approach makes it easy to see
how our questionnaires are structured. In most cases, general questions
are immediately followed by specific questions which usually clarify what
the general questions mean. So if a question seems vague, look further
down and you’ll probably see the detail that defines what the vague
generality is talking about.

Once you’ve completed all five questionnaires, study your NO answers
and your comments and use them to develop your own unique ISO 22000
Compliance Plan
. Use the associated questions to formulate actions or
steps that need to be taken in order to bring your food safety practices into
compliance. Once you’ve implemented your ISO 22000 Compliance Plan,
your Food Safety Management System (FSMS) will comply with the
ISO 22000 standard.

Our ISO 22000 2005 Gap Analysis Tool is easy to understand and
ready to use. It is focused, detailed, and complete. We
guarantee it!
