ISO 22000 for Food Trading, Import & Export Businesses

Traders and importers never touch a production line — but you own supplier approval, storage and traceability. We build the FSMS that proves it.

What this sector needs

Food trading, import/export and brokerage businesses do not manufacture, yet they are a critical link in food safety: approving suppliers, controlling storage and transport conditions, verifying documentation and maintaining traceability so any problem can be traced and recalled. Buyers and authorities increasingly expect a certified system.

ISO 22000 is well suited to traders — it focuses on the management system, supplier control and traceability rather than processing. We build a system scoped to your trading activity and prepare you for certification that reassures principals and customers.

Which certification fits you

Most businesses climb the same ladder. We help you certify at the level your buyers and regulators actually require — no more, no less.

HACCP

A documented hazard analysis with critical control points — the food safety foundation and the basis for Dubai Municipality food registration.

Start · DM registration

ISO 22000

A full food safety management system: HACCP plus prerequisite programmes, management commitment and continual improvement.

Structured FSMS

FSSC 22000

ISO 22000 plus sector-specific prerequisites and extra requirements — GFSI-recognised and accepted by global buyers.

How we get you certified

Four stages from first assessment to a successful certification audit. We build and run the system with you; an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

Gap assessment

We benchmark your current practices against the standard and DM requirements, and map exactly what is missing.

Build the system

We develop your HACCP plan, prerequisite programmes and FSMS documentation around your real process.

Internal audit & readiness

We train your team, run an internal audit and close gaps so you walk into the audit prepared.

Certification audit

An accredited certification body audits and issues the certificate. We support you through both stages and any findings.

Frequently asked questions

Do food traders and importers need ISO 22000?
Many principals, retailers and government tenders now require traders and importers to hold a recognised food safety certificate. ISO 22000 fits trading because it centres on supplier control, storage and traceability rather than manufacturing.
Which food safety scope does my business fall under?
Trading, broking and import/export businesses fall in the distribution scope (broker/agent category). We define the scope precisely so it reflects what you actually control.
Does CorpBridge issue the certificate?
No. We prepare and implement your food safety management system and get your team audit-ready. The certificate itself is issued by an accredited certification body after a successful audit — keeping the consultancy and certification roles properly separate.
We do not have a warehouse — can we still certify?
Yes. If you use third-party storage, the system covers how you approve and monitor those providers. Certification reflects the controls you own, which for a trader is supplier approval, documentation and traceability.
