Contact Us TodayGMP compliance for Houston manufacturers is anchored in FDA's 21 CFR 117 Subpart B, layered with Texas Department of State Health Services licensing inspections that cover much of the same ground at the state level. The Gulf Coast operating environment concentrates GMP risk in predictable places — condensation and mold control, sanitation chemical management in hot warehouses, and pest exclusion in facilities that ship and receive around the clock. We assess against the regulation line by line and build the SSOPs and maintenance programs that keep both inspectors satisfied.
FDA's GMP rule requires compliance with the practices but mandates few written procedures outright; Texas DSHS inspections and every commercial audit scheme, however, expect documentation. The practical standard is written SSOPs, pest control records, training logs, and maintenance programs — without them you cannot demonstrate compliance to an inspector reviewing a snapshot in time.
Start with mapping: identify where warm humid air meets chilled surfaces above product zones, then apply targeted fixes — air curtains and door discipline at dock openings, insulation of cold pipework, directed airflow, scheduled condensate removal, and monitoring rounds during the highest-risk hours. Document the risk assessment and controls; auditors accept managed risk with evidence.
Foundational GMPs that underpin every food safety system — building, equipment, personnel, sanitation, and pest control.
