Based on the nonconformities detected in the company, a plan was presented with corrective actions for the implementation of GMP requirement programs such as Standard Operating Procedures and Sanitation Procedures; these procedures will ensure adequate hygienic-sanitary conditions throughout the production chain and product safety. The action plan is intended to resolve nonconformities in a timely and appropriate manner and, in accordance with the company's available resources, to achieve GMP certification.
