What is GMP?
GMP is an acronym that stands for Good Manufacturing Practices and is a set of standards and requirements set by the FDA created under the Current Good Manufacturing Practices guidelines. This acronym establishes the operational conditions and requirements that are necessary to ensure hygiene throughout the food chain and the subsequent production. GMP consists of guidelines that define management and handling actions with the sole purpose of ensuring favorable conditions for the production of safe food. They are also useful for the design and operation of establishments and for the overall development of the processes and products that are related to food.
The main objective of GMP is customer protection and includes many basic operational conditions and procedures that are required to be met by the food company. Obtaining a GMP certification demonstrates a commitment to both compliance regulations and to a high standard of quality control. A GMP audit is required by many retailers and can help you get your product into many stores. GMP certification requires you to have a HACCP plan as well, which is also an area we specialize in.
