<![CDATA[This study aims to assist the Bandeng Presto MSE in implementing Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) as an effort to improve food safety and fulfill distribution permit requirements. Activities were carried out through field visits, initial gap assessments, preparation of quality documents, food safety training, and final evaluations. The results of the initial gap assessment showed 34 non-compliances with a GMP rating of "Very Poor". After improving production facilities, preparing 11 quality manual documents, 17 SOPs, 44 monitoring forms, and training on GMP and SSOPs for owners and employees, there was a significant increase in the understanding and implementation of food safety standards. The final gap assessment showed a decrease in the number of findings to 13 with no critical findings, resulting in an increase in the GMP rating to "Good". The Bandeng Presto MSE successfully obtained a GMP Implementation Permit from the BPOM with a validity of five years. This study shows that an intensive and educational mentoring approach can improve MSE compliance with food safety standards and strengthen the competitiveness of local processed products.]]>
