New food safety regulations, especially the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011 (FSMA), require animal food and ingredient processing facilities to maintain their facilities according to the baseline standards outlined in the final rule for Current Good Manufacturing Practice and Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Food for Animals.

In a new factsheet series from the NC State University Animal Food Safety program, we’ll explore:

  • the different components of Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) for animal food producers, and
  • how processors can comply with these standards to promote safe animal food production.

#1 in the Series: Personnel

The first factsheet in the series is all about personnel. The factsheet includes information about:

  • personal cleanliness,
  • washing hands,
  • removing or securing objects,
  • storing personal belongings, and
  • other precautions.
