What cGMP actually means
What cGMP is
cGMP stands for current Good Manufacturing Practices, the FDA's requirements for how food and supplements are handled, stored, and packaged (21 CFR 117). Every facility is legally required to follow it.
Who checks us
Following the rule and proving it are different things. We bring in FSNS Certification & Audit, an independent food-safety auditor, to inspect our facility and verify we meet the requirements.
Why it matters to you
The products you order from mtcapra.com are handled in a facility an outside auditor has inspected and confirmed meets the requirements set out in 21 CFR 117. You don't have to take our word for it.
