The food production industry has special challenges when it comes to Good Manufacturing Practices, especially with all of the news of food contamination. The nature of your product
makes the results of your manufacturing processes of immense importance to the welfare
of the general public. The consequences of non-compliance with appropriate production guidelines can have a devastating  effect on consumer health, sometimes with tragic results.

Many pharmaceutical companies also have products that are under the FDA Food regulations and don't need the full Pharmaceutical GMP treatment.

The issues of proper food manufacturing processes are important enough to warrant formal guidelines issued through the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Federal law mandates ongoing GMP training for food industry employees and one of the most effective 
ways of meeting that mandate is through interactive multimedia training programs like Good Manufacturing Practices For Food Production.

Intended for production line workers, supervisors, maintenance personnel, and anyone else
who can affect the quality of the food product, this new training program addresses the essential components of proper food manufacturing processes. With a special emphasis on maintaining consistent product quality through controlling contamination, key issues such as personal
hygiene, proper clothing, raw material inspection, and line cleaning methods are addressed. Recognizing the many sources of contamination, the program stresses effective prevention.
