The GACP audit
Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP) audits are critical for ensuring the quality and safety of herbal medicinal products. The above-mentioned GACP guidelines provide a framework for the proper cultivation, harvesting, and primary processing of herbal materials intended for medicinal use. By adhering to these practices, producers make sure that the plant-based products are consistent in their quality, free from contamination, and sustainably sourced.
During GACP audits, auditors assess whether producers comply with the guidelines, which cover aspects such as site selection, plant material identification, use of pesticides, soil management, and record-keeping. Successful audits are essential for producers to gain credibility and trust in the medicinal and herbal markets. These practices contribute significantly to the safety and efficacy of herbal medicinal products.
