This Food cGMP's 101 webinar/training will review the cGMP's using real-life examples to help you understand the expectations and benefits of operating under an effective Quality System , as well as a discussion as to the ramifications of not following cGMP's.
Why Should You Attend:
It is important for all employees of a food manufacturing company, to understand that even though food may look and taste good, it is considered adulterated and subject to a recall if the FDA feels that cGMP's are not being followed during the manufacturing process.
CFR110 was established by the FDA in 1977, and updated in 1996, in order to assure food is manufactured in sanitary conditions, and is not contaminated by external sources. The goal is to reduce the contamination by chemicals, filth, pests, and bacteria, while assuring the manufacturing processes themselves do not contribute to contamination. We manage this through the implementation and facilitation of a “Quality System”, which includes assuring pest controls, personnel requirements, sanitation, equipment cleaning, process controls, and assuring overall building maintenance, is compliant with the regulations.
This session will help all employees to understand the importance of these cGMP's, their responsibility in helping their facility to assure compliance with the cGMP's, and how following the cGMP’s as they relate to the overall Quality System will assure high quality products, happy customers, and reduced non-conformances.
Our expert panelist will review the cGMP's using real-life examples as to how to meet the requirements effectively, as well as a discussion as to the ramifications of not following cGMP's.
