How GMP Ensures Safety
Reliable Shipping & Handling for Your Shelf-Stable Products
The Importance of GMP
Certification and compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) is a requirement of any company that manufactures, packages, labels, imports, stores, or handles natural health products.
For brands looking to ensure the safe and compliant storage and transportation of their shelf-stable products, partnering with a third-party logistics provider that adheres to GMP is critical. At ProPack, we take pride in our commitment to quality, safety, and regulatory compliance, ensuring that your products are handled with care from the moment they enter our facilities to the moment they reach their final destination.
Our Commitment to Safety
Our team understands that your products represent more than just revenue—they are a reflection of your brand and the trust your customers place in it. That’s why we maintain stringent Quality Assurance (QA) protocols that align with the standards set by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and HealthCanada. These measures ensure that your products are stored, handled, and shipped in the safest way possible.
Compliance with U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada Regulations
Since 2007, the FDA has required compliance with “Current Good Manufacturing Practice” (GMP) for the handling of shelf-stable products. At ProPack, our professional and experienced procedures follow these strict guidelines, ensuring that our clients’ finished products meet the highest standards of safety and quality during storage and shipping.
ProPack is registered with the U.S. FDA and Health Canada and fully complies with all relevant federal regulations related to the storage and handling of dietary supplements and other natural, shelf-stable products. Whether it’s tablets, bars, powders, soft gels, or liquid products like essential oils, we adhere to the same regulatory standards as manufacturers, even though we do not engage in the production of these goods.
What GMP Certification Means for Your Products
GMP certification means that ProPack operates under a framework designed to minimize risks and ensure the quality and safety of your products at all times. Our warehouse processes are tailored to promote cleanliness, safety, and accuracy. Key elements of our GMP-certified facilities include:
- Lot-control and expiration date management: Ensuring that your products are always shipped to optimize their shelf life.
- Temperature control and monitoring: Critical for products that require specific environmental conditions.
- Strict pest control and cleanliness policies: We maintain clean, controlled environments to safeguard the integrity of your products including inspection of all inbound shipments, regular clean sweeps, and immediate quarantine procedures in the event of a product recall or other incident.
- Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): These ensure that all processes are documented and consistently followed by trained personnel.
- Equipment maintenance and training: We invest in comprehensive maintenance and ongoing staff training to ensure reliability and safety.
- GMP Certification for added assurance.
ProPack takes GMP compliance a step further by investing in third-party GMP certification. We believe in the value of external audits to validate our practices, which is why our two largest facilities are proudly certified by NSF International, a globally recognized organization providing testing, inspection, and certification services. This certification ensures that we meet—and exceed—FDA requirements for holding and handling dietary supplements and other natural products.
