Good manufacturing practices (GMP) are the practices required in order to conform to the guidelines recommended by agencies that control authorization and licensing for manufacture and sale of food, drug products, and active pharmaceutical products. The regulations make sure that a product is safe for use, and that it has the ingredients and strength it claims to have. GMP, along with Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), Good Laboratory Practices(GLP) and Good Clinical Practices (GCP), are overseen by regulatory agencies in the United States, Canada, Europe, China, and other countries.
