Good Manufacturing Practice

Introduction:

A GMP is a system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled as per quality standards. It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any Food and pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product. GMP covers all aspects of production from the starting materials, premises and equipment to the training and personal hygiene of staff. Detailed, written procedures are essential for each process that could affect the quality of the finished product.
