Description

Current food Good Manufacturing Practice for Food are published in Title 21 of the Food and Drug Administration’s Code of Federal Regulations, Part 110 (21 CFR 117). GMPs describe the methods, equipment, facilities, and controls for producing processed food. As the minimum sanitary and processing requirements for producing safe and wholesome food, they are an important part of regulatory control over the safety of the nation’s food supply. GMPs also serve as one basis for FDA inspections.

Good Manufacturing Practice for Food regulations are designed to be the “minimum” standards for the food industry, and because they are general in nature, the regulations use words such as “adequate,” “appropriate” or “as necessary.” Each firm must develop and implement procedures for each GMP requirement that will protect the food that they receive, store, or process from contamination. These procedures are specific to the individual firm since they are developed to meet the unique needs of the facility and their food products, processes, and equipment. Additionally, there may be many different strategies that are “adequate” or “appropriate” for different situations. The GMP is designed to provide this flexibility.

Different types of training are needed for individuals with different roles and responsibilities. This course is designed to accommodate individuals with overall responsibilities for developing and implementing effective procedures to meet GMP requirements and who are charged with assigning more directed tasks to production and other workers.

General FAQ 1

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
