GMP、ISO 22000

GMP is the abbreviation of Good Manufacturing Practice in English, and Chinese means “Good Manufacturing Practice”.

GMP standards are widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, medical materials or food factories internationally, emphasizing the management of raw materials, personnel, facilities and equipment, and manufacturing processes to ensure product hygiene, safety and quality. The GMP system was first announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Inspection Agency in 1963 to implement drug GMP. Due to the good implementation effect, the United States announced Food CGMP (Food CGMP) for food management in 1969.

The ISO 22000 food safety management system integrates the ISO 9001 quality management system and HACCP Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) two standards. The ISO 22000 standard aims to ensure that there are no weak links in the entire food chain to ensure The safety of food supply has become an important international food safety standard since its publication in 2005.

Taiwan started to implement food GMP in 1989 by the Industrial Development Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and the purchasers managed independently. For a long time, food GMP and ISO 22000 have been important indicators of Taiwan’s food certification.

After the food safety storm in 2015, the Chinese people paid more attention to food safety, and the government transferred the food management certification to the private “Taiwan Quality Food Association” (Taiwan Quality Food Association) for processing.
