GMP:  Good Manufacturing Practices

JTM Foods maintains the highest standards of product quality.  To do so requires the full partnership of every employee.  That's why all JTM Foods employees must sign a document stating that they have read and will abide by the company's GMP guidelines. 

These guidelines govern:
