Companies That Provide GMP Training for the Pharmaceutical Industry

In order to protect the health and safety of consumers, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires that manufacturers and producers of drugs, medical devices and certain food items maintain Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations. These regulations also help product manufacturers eliminate errors or contamination. Compliance with GMP regulations is stringent; company administrators that fail to adhere to GMP regulations are subject to penalties, product recalls and even imprisonment.
