Overview of MS 1514:2022 Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for Food
The Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) through the Malaysian Standards Department (JSM) has developed MS 1514:2022 Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) to support efforts to ensure that food produced and marketed in the country is of good quality and safety.
MS 1514:2022 which was approved on 01 June 2022 was updated from MS 1514:2009 version.
MS 1514 provides important guidelines and criteria that must be followed by food manufacturers during food processing from the aspects of facilities, operation, cleanliness and transportation in order to produce products that are safe to eat.
MS 1514 is also a reference that can be used by manufacturers to meet the requirements of the implementation of food safety assurance programs, of which GMP is one of them.
It not only ensures food produced is safe and of good quality as stipulated in the Food Regulation 1985 but the requirements of the Food Hygiene Regulations 2009 enforced by the Ministry of Health Malaysia (KKM).

Why Should You Use MS 1514?
You want to assure consumers that your brand practices ethical manufacturing practices for food production.
You want to enhance the image of the company in safe food production.
You want to ensure your processes are adhering to the regulatory and legislative requirements of Malaysia and relevant exporting countries.
You want to demonstrate to your customers, suppliers and external stakeholders that you are committed to being a food safety-conscious organisation, which can inspire both increased sales, as well as overcoming regulatory barriers to entry for certain projects/businesses.
Regulators and customers alike are increasingly demanding food safety be taken into account by the organisation they are purchasing from or working with. In the absence of a GMP system, you risk losing customers to competitors that see the value in showing their customers they have a GMP management system.
You may face the risks and lost opportunities involved with not having an MS 1514 GMP system in place and risk being known as the organisation that doesn’t take food safety concerns onboard as you operate.
You will potentially be eligible for more lucrative, large scale both government and private sector contracts that are only offered to organisations that can provide proof of their commitment to food safety and who can meet their standards.
