porous, easy-to-clean materials for
walls, floors, and ceilings.
• Separation of Areas: Separate raw
materials, production, packaging,
and finished goods to avoid
contamination.
• Material Flow: Ensure a logical flow
of materials to minimize cross-
contamination.
• Ventilation: Install proper
ventilation systems to control
airborne contaminants.
• Adequate Workspace: Provide
sufficient space to prevent crowding
and ensure smooth operations.
• Employee Facilities: Include clean
restrooms, handwashing stations, and
changing rooms.
• Safety Features: Design with fire exits,
emergency alarms, and clear
pathways.
• Clean Water Supply: Ensure a
continuous, safe water supply for
production and sanitation.
• Air Quality Control: Use air filtration
systems to maintain air quality.
• Reliable Energy Supply: Ensure
consistent energy supply to
avoid operational disruptions.
• Efficient Waste Disposal:
Design waste management
systems to avoid
contamination.
• Proper Lighting: Ensure
adequate lighting for cleaning,
inspection, and operations.
Construction and layout of
buildings, workspace and utilities
• Pest Control: Implement
sealed barriers and avoid
areas attracting pests.
• Sanitation Facilities:
Provide easy access to
cleaning and sanitizing
equipment.
Personnel
Facilities
Personnel hygiene facilities should
be available to ensure that an
appropriate degree of personal
hygiene can be maintained and to
avoid contaminating food.
Facilities should include:
Adequate means of hygienically
washing and drying hands,
including wash basins and a supply
of hot and cold (or suitably
temperature controlled) water
Lavatories of appropriate hygienic
design
Adequate changing facilities for
personnel Facilities should be
suitably located and designated.
There should be Facilities for:
✓ Changing
✓ Storage of personal items
✓ Segregation of personal
items from work clothing
✓ Hand-washing
✓ Toilets
✓ Smoking areas
✓ Eating/Drinking
Water
Only potable water, should be used
in food handling and processing.
Water recirculated for reuse should
be treated and maintained in such a
condition that no risk to the safety
and suitability of food results from
its use. The treatment process
should be effectively monitored.
When water is used as an ingredient
potable water should be used
wherever necessary to avoid food
contamination. Ice should be made
from water that meets the
conditions of Water Supply. Ice and
steam should be produced, handled
and stored to protect them from
contamination. Steam used in direct
contact with food or food contact
surfaces should not constitute a
threat to the safety and suitability
of food
Air Quality and Ventilation
Adequate means of natural or mechanical
ventilation should be provided, in
particular to: • minimize air-borne
contamination of food, for example, from
aerosols and condensation • control
ambient temperatures • control odours
which might affect the suitability of food •
control humidity, where necessary, to
ensure the safety and suitability of food
Ventilation systems should be designed
and constructed so that air does not flow
from contaminated areas to clean areas.
Lighting
Adequate natural or artificial lighting
should be provided to enable the
undertaking to operate in a hygienic
manner. Where necessary, lighting
should not be such that the resulting
colour is misleading. The intensity
should be adequate to the nature of the
operation. Lighting fixtures should,
where appropriate, be protected to
ensure that food is not contaminated by
Drainage and Waste Disposal
Adequate drainage and waste
disposal systems and facilities
should be provided. Systems
should be designed and
constructed so that the risk of
contaminating food or the
potable water supply is avoided
Prevention of Contamination
Waste is likely to be
contaminated and so should
not be allowed to
accumulate. Food handlers
should always wash their
hands after handling waste.
Lids should be kept closed on
waste containers as waste
attracts pests.
Equipment
Equipment should:
✓ permit maintenance and cleaning
✓ function as intended
✓ be hygienic
Approved Suppliers:
• Source raw materials only from certified and
reliable suppliers.
• Require Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for raw
materials.
Inspection and Testing:
• Inspect raw materials upon arrival for quality and
safety.
• Test ingredients for contaminants like pesticides,
heavy metals, and pathogens.
Storage:
• Store ingredients at appropriate temperatures
and conditions to prevent spoilage.
Raw Material and Supplier
Control
• Cleaning and Sanitization:
• Develop standard operating procedures (SOPs)
for cleaning and sanitizing equipment.
• Use food-grade cleaning agents and ensure
thorough rinsing.
• Preventive Maintenance:
• Regularly inspect and service equipment to
prevent breakdowns during production.
• Keep a maintenance log for all machinery.
Equipment Sanitation and
Maintenance
Standardized Recipes and Procedures:
• Use precise formulations and documented
production steps to ensure consistency.
• Implement batch records for traceability.
Critical Control Points (CCPs):
• Identify and monitor CCPs such as pH adjustment,
pasteurization temperature, and sealing integrity.
• Use HACCP principles to minimize risks at these
points.
Quality Checks:
• Test intermediate and final products for parameters
like pH, viscosity, microbial load, and packaging
integrity.
Process Control
Preventive Measures:
• Seal entry points to keep pests out.
• Install pest traps and monitor regularly.
Monitoring:
• Keep logs of pest control activities and inspections.
• Use licensed pest control services when necessary.
Pest Control
• SOPs and Logs:
⚬ Create and maintain SOPs for every stage of
production, including cleaning, testing, and
packaging.
⚬ Keep detailed logs for raw materials, production
batches, quality checks, and sanitation.
• Traceability:
⚬ Assign batch numbers to all products and
maintain records for tracking.
⚬ Ensure the ability to recall specific batches if
issues arise.
Documentation and Record
Keeping
Packaging Standards:
• Use food-grade, tamper-proof, and airtight
packaging to preserve product quality.
• Validate packaging materials for compatibility with
the product.
Labeling:
• Ensure labels include necessary details like product
name, ingredients, nutritional facts, manufacturing
date, expiry date, and storage instructions.
• Comply with FSSAI or other relevant labeling
regulations.
Packaging and Labeling
• Adherence to Standards:
⚬ Follow FSSAI (India), FDA (USA), or Codex
Alimentarius guidelines as applicable.
⚬ Obtain necessary certifications like HACCP, ISO
22000, or BRCGS.
• Audit Readiness:
⚬ Prepare for regular inspections by regulatory
bodies and third-party auditors.
⚬ Conduct internal audits to ensure ongoing
compliance.
Regulatory Compliance
Segregation and Disposal:
• Separate food waste, packaging waste, and
hazardous materials.
• Dispose of waste in compliance with local
environmental regulations.
Recycling and Sustainability:
• Implement recycling programs for packaging
materials.
• Explore sustainable practices like water and energy
conservation.
Waste Management
• Feedback Loops:
⚬ Collect feedback from customers, auditors, and
employees to identify areas for improvement.
⚬ Regularly update GMP protocols based on
advancements in technology and regulations.
• Monitoring and Review:
⚬ Establish KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) for
GMP adherence.
⚬ Review GMP practices periodically to ensure
effectiveness.
Continuous Improvement
• Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) are essential
guidelines that ensure food safety, quality, and
consistency in food manufacturing industries. By
implementing GMPs, manufacturers can prevent
contamination, maintain hygiene, and adhere to
regulatory standards. Key focus areas include
proper facility design, efficient workflow, personnel
hygiene, equipment suitability, waste management,
and environmental controls.
• GMPs not only protect consumers by ensuring safe
and high-quality products but also enhance
operational efficiency, reduce risks of product
recalls, and build trust in the brand. For food
industries, especially sauce manufacturing, strict
adherence to GMPs is critical to meet global food
safety requirements and remain competitive in the
market.
