GLP
Good laboratory practice (GLP) is a standardised way of planning, performing and reporting laboratory-based studies to ensure a high standard of quality and reliability
In food safety, Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is a set of rules and procedures that ensure scientific studies are conducted in a reliable, consistent, and traceable way. It covers how experiments are planned, performed, recorded, and reported, so that results are trustworthy and can be independently verified.
EFSA relies on studies carried out under GLP to assess the safety of chemicals, contaminants, additives, and other substances in food. By using GLP-compliant data, EFSA can make well-founded decisions and provide accurate, credible scientific advice to protect public health.
