GACP (Good Agriculture and Collection Practices) provides a framework for growers and wildcrafters who are responsible for the handling of dietary supplement ingredients, including dietary ingredients.

The American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) created the GACP to “help the industry ensure that herbal raw materials used in consumer products are accurately identified, not adulterated with contaminants that may present a public health risk, and fully conform to all quality characteristics for which they are represented.” This document along with assessment tools is open resource and free to download from the AHPA website.

To assist in following the activities recommended in the GACP guideline, downloadable Excel and Word forms and templates are available below to jump start the process.
