Key Points for the Construction of GMP Facilities for Food and Health Supplements

I. Workshop Structure and Layout

Generally, food production workshops are predominantly constructed using reinforced concrete and brickwork; designs are tailored to the specific food products being manufactured. The layout of the processing workshop must be rational to facilitate smooth production across all stages. Furthermore, safety controls must not be overlooked, and measures must be in place to prevent contamination during the food production process.

II. Walls, Floors, and Ceilings

Flooring materials must be water-resistant, resistant to acids and alkalis, heat-resistant, and impact-resistant. For workshops where oil residue and water vapor are generated during production, it is highly recommended to tile the walls with white ceramic tiles. Ceilings must be watertight and free of standing water, with smooth, clean surfaces coated in anti-corrosive paint. They should feature an appropriate curvature to prevent condensation droplets from accumulating and fostering bacterial growth—a requirement also emphasized in GMP standards for workshops.

III. Doors and Windows

Entrances to food production workshops—including those for personnel, machinery, and goods—must be thoughtfully designed. Doors and windows must be tightly sealed and resistant to deformation; materials used must undergo fire-retardant treatment to ensure safety.

By now, many clients likely have a general understanding of GMP standards for food industry workshops. However, the points mentioned above represent only a fraction of the requirements.
