This document outlines good manufacturing practices (GMP) and sanitation standard operating procedures (SSOP) across various areas of a food production facility. It discusses requirements and best practices for facilities, premises, production equipment, ingredients and raw materials, chemical control, personal hygiene, warehousing and distribution, traceability and recall, and cleanliness and sanitation. The goal is to prevent food contamination and adulteration at all stages of production and storage by maintaining high standards of hygiene, cleaning, and process control.
