What is Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)?
GMP is an acronym for good manufacturing processes. It is used internationally to describe a set of principles and procedures which, when followed by manufacturers of therapeutic goods, helps to ensure that the products manufactured will have the required and consistent quality. A basic tenet of GMP is that quality cannot be tested into a batch of product, but must be integrated into each batch of product during all stages of the manufacturing process. These are guidelines established by the Food and Drug Administration to ensure quality products are produced at levels safe for human consumption.
