EUREPGAP

EUREPGAP/ GMP/ WHO GMP

This a kind of global partnership for the safety and sustainable agriculture, a standard, which refers to the certification of agricultural products and lately a global quality insurance system, whose base is the Good Agricultural Practice.

The Euro-Retailer Produce Working Group (EUREP) has developed an auditable standard promoting Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). The scope of GLOBALGAP standard currently covers the production of fruit, vegetables, cut flowers, farm animals and fish. GLOBALGAP certification has support from major European retailers, PMO's and growers on a global basis.

The GLOBALGAP standard is primarily designed to reassure consumers about how food is produced on the farm by minimizing detrimental environmental impacts of farming operations, reducing the use of chemical inputs and ensuring a responsible approach to worker health and safety as well as animal welfare.

GMP/ WHO GMP (Good Manufacturing Process)

GMP refers to the Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations promulgated by the US Food and Drug Administration under the authority of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (See Chapter IV for food, and Chapter V, Subchapters A, B, C, D, and E for drugs and devices.) These regulations, which have the force of law, require that manufacturers, processors, and packagers of drugs, medical devices, some food, and blood take proactive steps to ensure that their products are safe, pure, and effective. GMP regulations require a quality approach to manufacturing, enabling companies to minimize or eliminate instances of contamination, mix-ups, and errors. This in turn, protects the consumer from purchasing a product which is not effective or even dangerous. GMP regulations address issues including recordkeeping, personnel qualifications, sanitation, cleanliness, equipment verification, process validation, and complaint handling. Most GMP requirements are very general and open-ended, allowing each manufacturer to decide individually how to best implement the necessary controls. This provides much flexibility, but also requires that the manufacturer interpret the requirements in a manner which makes sense for each individual business.
