Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP)

What is cGMP?

In the United State, Current Good Manufacturing Practices known as CGMP, refer to legislation that falls under the purview of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

These laws ensure that all pharmaceuticals and most food and beverage, cosmetic, and dietary supplement companies follow industry and best practices like hygiene, quality control, and more to ensure all products manufactured are safe and effective.

Current Good Manufacturing Practices are not limited to companies located within the U.S. Foreign companies that produce food, medical, and cosmetic products for distribution in the U.S. must comply with these standards.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has Good Manufacturing Practice guidance in place for pharmaceuticals and biological medicinal products. While the WHO is a separate organization from the FDA, these guidelines help ensure the global supply of medication and medical products meets safety guidelines.

FAQ

Current good manufacturing practices (CGMPs) are general practices and procedures recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure product safety and quality. … CGMPs help prevent food safety hazards in your facility and ensure that your food products are safe to eat.
CGMP refers to the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations enforced by the FDA. CGMPs provide for systems that assure proper design, monitoring, and control of manufacturing processes and facilities.
CGMPs can be applied to any food manufacturing, packing or storage operation, regardless of the type of food or manufacturing process. In contrast, each HACCP control plan is specifically designed for a particular food or a related group of foods or food processes.
 

CGMP is the main regulatory standard for ensuring pharmaceutical quality. This includes over-the-counter and prescription small-molecule drugs and biopharmaceuticals like vaccines, therapeutic blood products, gene therapies, antibodies and cell therapies (e.g. stem cell therapies).
