Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
 
What are GMP?
  • Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, are the minimum sanitary and processing requirements issued by the FDA (under section 520 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act) that a company must uphold
  • Within the foodservice industry these typically consist of maintaining
    • A clean kitchen
    • A safe water supply
    • Good personal hygiene of all employees
    • A consistent and thorough employee training system
    • An up-to-date pest control program

Most foodservice industry companies use GMP to write more specific Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and to implement a comprehensive food safety program.
