Good manufacture practice – Safety for products with biologically active additives and OTC medicines

When adding substances that have an impact on the human organism, strict legal and hygienic requirements do apply.

In addition to high-precision cooking, dosing, cooling and moulding processes, these products require a suitable GMP concept (good manufacture practice) for the entire plant, i.e. precise and documentable dosing of the additives, effective and hygienic cleaning and the avoidance of cross-contamination.

To avoid cross contamination e.g. fruit gums with biologically active additives, also called medical gums, or OTC medicines can only be deposited in washable silicone moulds or directly into packaging

The FFP process (Fast Forward Process), co-developed by WDS, therefore works with conventional or commercially available gelatine, which, thanks to its special composition, has fast setting properties, which is primarily responsible for the texture and haptic properties later on.
