Is your business GMP ready? If you're not sure, we can help. We recently stumbled across this article in mg Magazine highlighting the importance of GMPs, particularly for extraction manufacturers. "As the industry continues to grow and evolve, the importance of GMP compliance will increase. Regulatory bodies likely will impose stricter standards and trend more toward rigorous enforcement. Consumers are becoming more informed and discerning, demanding higher quality and safety standards. Businesses that fail to adapt to these changes will find themselves at a significant disadvantage." https://lnkd.in/eG_JsyqJ #extraction #GMPs #cannabis #hemp
