What is GMP?

A Good Manufacturing Practice or GMP Logo is a certificate rewarded by the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) for food premise operators involving the process of processing, packaging, storage, and distribution of food.

Basically, it is a key requirement for every food operator before obtaining the HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point) certificate by the MOH.

The main goal of this GMP certification is to help the national food industry to achieve higher standards of food production and meet national requirements.


Who should apply for GMP?

Although not mandatory, the GMP certification is very beneficial for any business as a sign of recognition for good manufacturing practices within its facility.

It is open to all types of food premise operators involved in manufacturing food products in Malaysia.

Benefits of having the GMP logo

Similar to any other certification, the GMP logo gives official recognition to the business owner. The GMP certification shows that the food premises have successfully implemented and adopted all the necessary criteria.

Not only that, products owners with the GMP logo will benefit from the following:

  • Easy to get export certificates such as Certificate of Free Sale, GMO Certificate, and others.
  • Strengthens other quality assurance schemes such as ISO, HACCP, and HALAL.
  • Compete with other countries in the global food market.
  • Ensures that the Malaysian food industry complies with domestic and foreign standards.
