ABSTRACT

This chapter presents principles and practical applications of good manufacturing practices for food processing industries. Food manufacturing and producing industries should follow and adopt Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) to make sure that all products are manufactured under a safe and healthy environment, which ensures the safety and quality of their products to fulfill requirement of standards regulations. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is well recognized in the food industry as an effective approach to establishing good production, sanitation, and manufacturing practices that produce safe foods. The place, primary materials, people, process and product are the five important factors of production and processing of food product that affect the quality and safety while following GMPs. GMP compliance is not an option but it should be followed. Quality should be built into the food product.
