HACCP stands as a globally acknowledged framework aimed at diminishing the potential safety perils present in food.
Creating a HACCP System entails the implementation of both Prerequisite Programs and HACCP Plans.
Prerequisite programs encompass strategies enacted within the facility to oversee environmental hazards, preventing the product from being tainted. By ensuring a sanitary setting and proper manufacturing procedures for staff, these programs decrease the likelihood of food product contamination.
For every process or product, HACCP Plans are developed to pinpoint potential hazards and outline control measures. These controls are put in place to eradicate or manage hazards, thereby maintaining acceptable levels of safety within the food product.
A HACCP System mandates the identification and control of potential hazards at specific stages of the process. This covers a spectrum of hazards including biological, chemical, and physical. Any enterprise engaged in the production, processing, or handling of food items can adopt HACCP to mitigate or eliminate food safety risks from their products.
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a structured system that ensures the consistent production and control of products in accordance with established quality standards. It aims to mitigate risks inherent in pharmaceutical manufacturing that cannot be fully addressed by testing the final product alone. The primary concerns encompass potential product contamination leading to health issues or fatalities, incorrect labeling on containers resulting in patients receiving the wrong medication, and the presence of insufficient or excessive active ingredients causing treatment inefficacy or adverse reactions.
GMP comprehensively addresses all aspects of production, spanning from the initial materials, facilities, and equipment to staff training and personal hygiene. Thoroughly detailed written procedures are indispensable for each process that has the potential to influence the quality of the final product. Systems must be in place to provide documented evidence that accurate procedures are consistently adhered to at each stage of the manufacturing process, whenever a product is produced.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has laid out comprehensive guidelines for good manufacturing practice. Numerous countries have established their own GMP prerequisites rooted in the WHO's framework. We extend our consultancy and certification services for the implementation of these standards
