The application of Total Quality Management (TQM) by The International Organization for Standardization (ISO 22000) quality standards and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points system (HACCP system) will be essential in maintaining and even expanding export preserved foods to the market. TQM is a broad management concept and long-term business philosophy that stresses meeting a right first time, zero defects. Both ISO 22000 quality standards and HACCP system embody a great part of the TQM. The application of this preventive oriented approach would give the food producer better control over operation, better manufacturing practices and greater efficiencies, including reduced wastes. This paper focuses on the application of the ISO 22000 standards and HACCP system on production of preserved foods, lines for safe, healthy and high quality. On the other hand, the continuous increase in the population number of Arab countries which is currently estimated at 20% of the population of the world and provide international trade in food, which is estimated at $60 billion in the world have paid attention to the food to determine its origin and methods of production and preparation.
