Indoor Plants in a Food Manufacturing Area
As per the GMP, it is strongly not recommended to grow vegetation adjacent to building. So my question is - Is it allowed to keep the indoor plants in the Food Manufacturing area - like money plant, lucky bamboo and other indoor plants?.

In administration offices, visitor reception areas they are a common feature and I would struggle to see any issue in these areas.
In George Orwell's novel ... Keep the Aspidistra Flying... he declares war on the humble house-plant. I dont think we need to go that far

I agree they're a welcome addition to the office and conference areas. But they have no place in your sterile, pest free production areas.
Also I want to ask your opinion about the plant offices - which is inside the plant?.

I'd be equally as worried about Listeria in the soil the plant is in, and where the water would go from watering it!
What if the plant is directly grown in water without soil?.

So what about water borne pathogens/ microbes?
I would also say any offices that open directly onto the production floor are suspect. In a long about way, this does include my office, and I do have plants in it. However there is about 30 feet of an L shape corridor, so I feel this does not pose a threat to our production floor.

Keep plants out of your plants, including the lucky bamboo - put that outside and spread the luck around instead of spreading the issues that plants and soils cause inside a food manufacturing plant.

Yes indeed. For some products / locations this could be a critical NC.

not in food areas !!, ok in offices !
try plastic plants if any problems !!
I have faced an audit where the auditor was damn adamant on removing plants from the corridor in the reception stating that instead of minimizing risk we are inviting it :shutup:
And his refusal was not at all related to pathogens....but flies, mosquitoes and dust generation (due to the soil in the pot) ! His question was "Why I am deliberately trying to first create risk and then test my controls measures !"
Hi,
yes, Indoor plants are allowed at the manufacturing area. If you want any indoor plants then visit this website www.plantslive.in. In this website
you will get different varities of indoor plants like bamboo ...... with reasonable price.
