Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are a cornerstone of food safety in South Africa. These guidelines ensure food production adheres to strict standards, preventing contamination throughout the process, from acquiring raw materials to delivering the final product. GMP focuses on five key elements: People (hygiene and training), Premises (design, maintenance, and cleaning), Processes (clear and documented procedures), Products (high-quality materials and handling), and Procedures/Paperwork (accurate record-keeping). Regulations like R638 and standards like SANS 10049:2019 enforce GMP in South Africa. Implementing GMP benefits everyone. Food manufacturers see improved product quality, consumer trust, and regulatory compliance. Most importantly, GMP safeguards public health by minimising the risk of foodborne illnesses.
