1. OBJECTIVE
The requirement of GMP has been developed over many years to ensure clean, safe working
environment and wholesome safe quality products.
The code applies to receiving, processing, handling, storage, transport, and distribution of all
products. The objective is to provide guidance for the processing and handling of wheat
based products to help ensure product safety and other aspects of the production of foods
including, as appropriate essential quality provisions, composition and labeling provisions of
pertinent Codex commodity standards. The booklet emphasizing proper food chain
management incorporates good hygienic and good manufacturing practices including
management of cold chain where applicable. A prerequisite program is described in this
booklet, covering essential requirements of hygiene in the production of foods like wheat
based products that should be in place prior to the application of HACCP or any other Food
Safety Management System.
Good manufacturing practices (GMP) requirement specified in this booklet are supplement to,
and must be used in conjunction with the
Recommended International Code of Practice General Principles of Food hygiene
(CAC/ RCP 1- 1968, Rev 4- 2003)
And Factory Act 1948 with Chhattisgarh Government Factory Rules
