This document specifies, in conjunction with ISO 22002-100, requirements for establishing, implementing and maintaining prerequisite programmes (PRPs) to control food safety hazards in catering services for direct consumer consumption or take away. The term “food services” is used synonymously with catering services.

This document is applicable to restaurants, hotels, food trucks, vending machines, institutions, workplaces (school or factory cafeteria), on-board passenger services, where open exposed food activities (e.g. cooking, mixing, blending, preparation, reheating) occur on-site for direct consumer consumption or take-away. This includes minor processing activities at retail operations (e.g. slicing, portioning, reheating).

This document is applicable to all organizations, regardless of size or complexity.

This document does not apply to off-site catering kitchens or industrial kitchens that produce food not offered for immediate consumption.

EXAMPLE            Off-site kitchens that produce foodstuffs that will be supplied to restaurant(s), hotel(s) or onboard catering services. ISO 22002-1 applies in this case.

This document does not apply to other parts of the food supply chain.

Exclusions to requirements can be supported by a sufficient justification that ensures that the exclusion does not adversely impact food safety.
