Why would you want GACP Certification?
Risk management plans ensure that:
GACP training is a skills training session… not simply an information session.
GACP principles are recognized globally. Over 2,000 people have passed the training in Canada!
Having a GACP Risk Management Plan ensures a strong value chain of traceability, safety, quality and ethical assurances tightly linked with existing Good Manufacturing Practices in both the culinary and medicinal worlds. This boosts customer confidence and protects you legally. Both wholesale buyers and insurance companies look favourably at operations with this kind of certified risk management program in place. It is a valuable certificate to have.
Anyone producing, manufacturing, or selling food or cosmetic related products needs to take this course!
