What Is GMP?
GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practice. It covers the hygiene, processing, documentation, and operational controls that help food businesses reduce food safety risks and maintain consistent production standards.
For food businesses in Malaysia, GMP readiness is commonly guided by MS 1514:2022, the current Malaysian Standard for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for Food (which replaced MS 1514:2009). It addresses practical areas such as facility layout, equipment maintenance, cleaning and sanitation, pest control, personal hygiene, prevention of cross-contamination, storage and handling, traceability, training, and documentation. These controls help create safer, better controlled conditions throughout food production and handling.
GMP also forms the prerequisite program (PRP) foundation for more advanced food safety systems. In Malaysia, GMP under MS 1514:2022 provides the hygiene and operational base that a HACCP system (MS 1480:2025) is built on, which is why many businesses establish GMP before progressing to HACCP, ISO 22000, or FSSC 22000.
