Seafood Factory Achieves ISO 22000:2018 and ISO 9001:2015 Certifications

Seafood Factory is proud to announce that it has officially been awarded two international ISO certifications: ISO 22000:2018 (Food Safety Management System) and ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management System). This achievement marks a significant milestone in our journey, underscoring our unwavering commitment to food safety and premium quality in every product we offer. These certifications were earned through rigorous independent audits and reflect our adherence to the highest global standards, giving our customers even more confidence in the seafood products they enjoy.

Our ISO 9001:2015 certification recognizes our dedication to world-class quality management, ensuring we have effective processes and trained staff to deliver flawless products consistently. Meanwhile, the ISO 22000:2018 certification highlights our robust food safety management system, designed to ensure that we consistently provide safe seafood products by integrating the principles of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) into every step of our operations. In simpler terms, Seafood Factory now meets internationally recognized benchmarks for both quality and safety, reinforcing our position as a trusted leader in the seafood industry.

ISO 22000:2018 – Elevating Food Safety Standards

ISO 22000:2018 is an international standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS) that specifies strict requirements for controlling food safety hazards at every stage of the supply chain. Earning this certification means that Seafood Factory has implemented a comprehensive food safety system covering everything from sourcing and handling to processing and packaging. We have long embraced best practices like HACCP, and now the ISO 22000 certification formally attests that our procedures ensure food products are safe for consumption and meet all legal and regulatory food safety requirements.

What does this mean for you? Simply put, every item that leaves our facility is produced under stringent safety protocols. Whether it's a batch of our fresh shrimps or a ready-to-serve meal from our Ready to Eat seafood products, you can be confident it was made in a food-safe environment with end-to-end traceability. ISO 22000’s framework pushes us to continuously identify, prevent, and control potential hazards in our seafood processing – ensuring that from “Sea to plate,” safety is never compromised. This certification not only enhances consumer protection but also streamlines our operations to reduce any risk of food safety incidents.

ISO 9001:2015 – Ensuring Top-Quality Management

ISO 9001:2015 is the world’s most widely recognized standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS), focused on consistently meeting customer expectations and driving continuous improvement. Achieving ISO 9001 certification means Seafood Factory has established robust quality control processes and a culture of ongoing improvement in every aspect of our business. From the moment seafood arrives at our docks to the moment it’s delivered to your door, every process is documented, monitored, and optimized to maintain the highest quality standards.

For our customers, this translates into reliable, premium products every time you order. ISO 9001 requires us to have clear procedures for everything we do – procurement, processing, packaging, customer service, and beyond – and to continually refine those procedures for greater efficiency and quality output. For example, our state-of-the-art processing facility operates with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring cuts of fish are uniform, storage temperatures are properly controlled, and orders are fulfilled accurately and on time. By following ISO 9001’s framework, we also emphasize staff training and internal audits, so our team is always prepared to catch and correct any deviations before they affect the final product. The result is a smoother operation that delivers fresh, high-quality seafood to you with consistency you can count on.
