GHP compliance covers the minimum sanitary and hygiene practices for food processors, such as hotels and restaurants, to ensure that food is safe and suitable for human consumption. GHP is a required foundation to implement other food safety management initiatives, such as GMP, HACCP and ISO 22000.
It’s important to promote good hygiene management in your food supply chain. That can be achieved through auditing your supply chain processes. Good sanitary and food handling measures should go without saying but can always be improved in your production line.
GHP compliance highlights areas of concern and potential pitfalls to improve your food safety standards. Auditing will check your facilities, equipment and workspaces to ascertain what needs to improve and potential risks.
It will assess and ensure the food being processed is suitable for human consumption and is the bare minimum needed to comply with regulations in the industry for hotels and restaurants. Food contamination and disease should not be taken lightly and GHP compliance will aid that consideration.
