What's changed?

Key differences from the previous edition (PD ISO/TS 22002 6:2016) include:

The standard has been ‘upgraded’ from a technical specification to a full international standard, reflecting broader consensus and formalization.

• Refined scope: The new version applies exclusively to feed and animal food production, whereas the previous edition had broader applicability.
• Separation of common requirements: Common PRP requirements are now housed in ISO 22002-100, which must be used in conjunction with this document. This modular structure improves clarity and consistency across different sectors of the food chain.
• Technical revisions: The 2025 edition introduces updated definitions (e.g. for ""medication"") and more detailed requirements for contamination prevention, storage, transport, and labelling of medicated feed.
• Enhanced specificity: Requirements for managing medications, preventing cross-contamination, and declaring substances on product labels are more clearly defined and aligned with Codex Alimentarius guidance.
