RESUMO

The pet food industry has grown over recent years and the Ministry of Agriculture Cattle Breeding and Supply published in 2003 the Normative Instruction nQ 1, to define Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for pet food manufacturers and processors. Food safety is an important aspect both for the animals and human beings. The specific legislations determined by the competent organizations are aimed to ensure the safe foodstuffs production. To verify the leveI of GMP deployment at pet food manufacturers, AL VES conducted a research in 2003 when he identified that 4 manufacturers, out of 15 sampled, had implemented GMP. Considering the implementation leveI found, the objectives of this thesis were: (a) to provide the pet food organizations, with the implementation mechanisms of the Good Manufacturing Practices, to enable them to comply with Norrnative Instruction nQ 1 and with the recommendations contained in the Manual published by Sindiraçõesl AnfaIl Asbram; (b) to develop a database with the GMP issues, to ease the self-evaluation processes and the intemal and external audits. To attend the GMP requirements, the proposed methodology is classified in 6 modules: Building and Installations, Equipment, Fumiture and Fixtures, Handlers, Production Flow, Quality Assurance System, Products Traceability, MateriaIs and .Raw Materiais. The documentation developed for the GMP implementation contain the Manual for Good Manufacturing Practices, Standard Operational Procedures - SOP, Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures - SSOP and Working Instructions - WI. Eight steps are shown for the GMP implementation, from project planning through maintenance and improvement of the GMP system. The database prepared was tested at 4 pet food manufacturers. With the methodology, the documentation and the database developed in this study, pet food manufacturers will be able to deploy the GMP requirements, optimizing the methods for the control and reduction ofhazards and the preventive actions, which will contribute to ensure the safety and quality ofthe manufactured products
