Why it matters

GMP is a foundational prerequisite for most food safety schemes and a baseline expectation of buyers and regulators. Certification reduces contamination risk, supports regulatory compliance, and provides a solid platform for advanced certifications.

Who it applies to

Food and ingredient manufacturers, processors, packagers and contract manufacturers, as well as facilities preparing for GFSI-benchmarked schemes.

Key requirements

Facility design and hygienic zoning, equipment maintenance and calibration, sanitation and pest control programs, personnel hygiene, allergen and cross-contamination controls, and documented procedures with records.
