Food producers should ensure that their products meet safety regulations by having a plan in place to follow current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs). This plan should include regular equipment maintenance and employee training, comprehensive product testing, an overall understanding of food safety protocols and regulations, implementing corrective actions when applicable, regularly reviewing production processes for potential risks, using standard operating procedures to manage operations and consistency, and ensuring cleanliness throughout the premises. Additionally, it is important for food producers to have a detailed recall plan that complies with the Food Safety Modernization Act.
