Good manufacturing practices and good hygiene practices
are known as the necessary operational requirements
that allow a food business to constantly produce safe food.
But what does that really mean though?
GMP and GHP are a set of documented procedures
such as your hand washing procedure and personal hygiene procedure, to name a few.
While you may have a HACCP incorporated food safety plan and quality plan in place,
you must also have GMP and GHP procedure in place.
This supports your HACCP food safety plan,
which will ensure your products are manufactured and stored to a standard that meets regulatory and export requirements.
Your site's GMP and GHP procedures must be clearly defined
with up-to-date records of activities that must be readily available during an audit.
