Drafting food industry standards
Voluntary standards in the food industry are developed by food industry professionals through committees that bring together all stakeholders, with the aim of serving the public interest. The most well-known of these is ISO 22000, which establishes a framework for food safety management systems. But as technologies evolve, there is always a need for new best practices to serve as benchmarks.
France's standardization strategy
France’s 2025–2030 standardization strategy devotes a section to healthy and sustainable food. As the chair of ISO/TC 34 “Food Products,” France plays a strategic role in developing international standards that ensure the quality, safety, and sustainability of food products. On the agenda through 2030: combating food waste, developing sustainable sectors such as plant-based proteins, new genomic techniques, and the reuse of food packaging.
