Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are a crucial element of quality assurance, ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled to meet established quality standards suitable for their intended use and regulatory approval. GMP guidelines set the minimum requirements that manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, medical devices, and dietary supplements must adhere to, safeguarding consumers by minimizing potential risks. These practices ensure that every stage of production from raw material procurement to final product distribution is conducted in a standardized and controlled manner. In the United States, GMP regulations are enforced by the FDA under 21 CFR, emphasizing the importance of compliance across all relevant industries.
