Good Manufacturing Practices for Food Manufacturing, or GMP for short, is a fundamental topic and builds up the foundation for all companies in the food industry who are ultimately looking for HACCP or ISO 22000. While most relevant for companies involved in the actual manufacturing process, many of the points raised apply to distribution and logistics companies too.
As a consumer, you probably can see the importance of how effective hygiene control is needed at every point of the food chain. GMP helps to assure that companies account for it.
