What does GMP or ISO production procedures mean?
To be licensed as a food grade processor, each emu oil processor facility must acquire licensing in their respective states. All states have stringent requirements that must be met before this licensing is authorized. Periodic inspections of each emu oil processing plant are required by the individual states in order that this license be retained. The states require a periodic inspection to be performed by the Food and Drug Administration or a state representative of this agency. The FDA and each state inspector require stringent GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) for the emu oil processors to remain in operation. ISO (International Standards Organization) production is not a requirement for cleanliness and is not required by any of the state agencies or by the FDA.
