OUR QUALITY

GMP is a part of the quality assurance system that guarantees that products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their intended use. They require that manufacturers, processors, and packagers take proactive steps to ensure that their products are safe and pure. GMP regulations require a quality approach to manufacturing, enabling companies to minimize or eliminate instances of contamination, mixups, and errors.

SSOP is the common name given to the sanitation procedures in food production plants which are required by the Food Safety and Inspection Service of the USDA. It is considered one of the prerequisite programs of HACCP. SSOP are documented steps that must be followed to ensure adequate cleaning of product contact and non-product surfaces. These cleaning procedures are detailed enough to make certain that adulteration of product will not occur. All HACCP plans require SSOP to be documented and reviewed periodically to incorporate changes of manufacturing processes.

The BRC Global Standards are a suite of four industry-leading Technical Standards that specify requirements to be met by an organization to enable the production, packaging, storage and distribution of safe food and consumer products. They reassure retailers and branded manufacturers of the capability and competence of the supplier, and reduces the need for retailers and manufacturers to carry out their own audits, thereby reducing the administrative burden on both the supplier and the customer.
