Food safety as an objective

GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certification scheme provides independent verification and certification that the basic manufacturing practices and pre-requisites necessary for the implementation of an effective Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) food safety program are being followed.

GMPs are minimum common sense sanitary and processing requirements applicable to all food processing establishments. Many food industry companies have implemented the GMP certification scheme for food processing as the foundation upon which they have developed and implemented other food safety and quality management systems, such as HACCP, SQF 2000cm and/or ISO 9000.

Certifying your food management system against the GMP requirements will bring the following benefits to your organization:

  • Enhance your food safety and food safety management system
  • Demonstrate your commitment to producing/trading safe food
  • Prepare your quality management system for HACCP certification
  • Increase the confidence of your consumers/customers
  • Help when you are subject to inspection by regulatory authorities / other stakeholders
