Food Safety: Good Manufacturing Practices – Training Course

Food Safety: Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) is a comprehensive training program designed to help employees understand, apply, and maintain the standards required to produce safe, high-quality food products.

Food safety is critical in any production environment. Even small lapses in sanitation, handling, or process controls can lead to contamination, product recalls, and serious health risks. This course provides a clear understanding of GMPs and how they are used to prevent these issues while ensuring compliance with FDA regulations.

Participants will learn the key provisions of GMPs, including facility requirements, equipment sanitation, production controls, and employee hygiene. The training also covers essential supporting elements such as pest control, inspections, and the development of effective Food Safety Plans.

By reinforcing best practices and regulatory requirements, this course helps organizations maintain compliance, protect consumers, and uphold product quality.

Training Objectives

• Define Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) in the food industry

Course Overview

Good Manufacturing Practices are the foundation of food safety in production environments. This course provides a detailed overview of GMP requirements as defined by the FDA, including 21 CFR Part 117.

Learners will explore six core areas of GMPs, including general provisions, buildings and facilities, equipment, production and process controls, and defect action levels. The program highlights how these elements work together to prevent contamination and ensure product integrity.

In addition, the course addresses critical supporting practices such as employee hygiene, sanitation procedures, pest control, and routine inspections. Participants will also learn the importance of maintaining a written Food Safety Plan, including hazard analysis, preventive controls, allergen management, and recall procedures.
