Certified for International Food Safety Standards

Sigiriya Jungles Resort & Spa has strengthened its commitment to internationally recognized hospitality and food safety standards by receiving the ISO 22000:2018 certification for the preparation and serving of food and beverages.

The certification reflects the resort’s continued focus on maintaining globally accepted food safety management systems while ensuring guests experience high standards of hygiene, quality assurance, and operational discipline across all dining and culinary operations.

Located within Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, Sigiriya Jungles has steadily built its reputation as a hospitality destination that combines immersive travel experiences with responsible operational practices. As modern travelers become increasingly conscious of food quality, hygiene standards, and safety procedures, internationally benchmarked certifications have become an important indicator of trust within the hospitality industry.

Implementing Internationally Recognized Food Safety Systems

ISO 22000:2018 is among the world’s most recognized food safety management standards, integrating HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) principles into hospitality and food service operations.

The certification process undertaken by Sigiriya Jungles involved a detailed and disciplined audit covering several key operational areas within the resort. These included kitchen operations, food preparation and storage procedures, implementation of HACCP plans, monitoring systems, maintenance protocols, and testing procedures for microbiological and chemical quality standards.

Every stage of the process was designed to ensure that food handling, preparation, and service procedures aligned with internationally accepted safety and hygiene practices. The certification also reflects the resort’s commitment to consistency, accountability, and operational transparency within its food and beverage operations.

Enhancing Guest Confidence Through Quality Standards

For travelers visiting Sigiriya Jungles, the certification provides added assurance that the resort’s culinary experiences are supported by internationally recognized food safety systems. From buffet dining experiences to curated local and international cuisine offerings, guests are able to enjoy meals prepared under carefully monitored quality control procedures.

The achievement also highlights the growing importance of food safety certification within Sri Lanka’s hospitality sector, particularly as the industry continues to align itself with international tourism expectations and evolving traveler preferences.

The recognition received attention within local media, including coverage by The Sunday Times Sri Lanka, further acknowledging the resort’s efforts toward maintaining internationally benchmarked hospitality standards.
