Building FDA-aligned Current Good Manufacturing Practices (21 CFR 117 Subpart B) under those constraints means engineering hygiene through workflow, scheduling, and zoning discipline where walls and square footage cannot do the work.
Yes, with deliberate controls: documented cleaning verification at session start (you inherit the previous user's residues), allergen risk assessment covering other tenants' production, secured dedicated storage, and your own pest and maintenance awareness even where the facility holds the contracts. FDA's GMPs are performance-based, not prescriptive about ownership. We write shared-facility GMP programs that make your slice of the operation defensibly yours.
GMPs apply to essentially all registered facilities, but the Preventive Controls rule adds hazard analysis and a written food safety plan unless you qualify for an exemption — notably the qualified-facility exemption tied to sales under defined thresholds, which many SF small producers use. Growth, new distribution, or a customer demand usually ends the exemption's usefulness before revenue does. We track your status and build the plan before the trigger, not after.
Foundational GMPs that underpin every food safety system — building, equipment, personnel, sanitation, and pest control.
