Dietary Supplement Raw Material/Component Storage and Production

Anonymous16-2

Starting to get Involved
I work in a Dietary Supplement facility and I have a couple of questions...

1) As a manufacturing company, can we have wooden (treated and painted) doors inside the production floor? Should we consider changing to stainless steel?
- Previous places of employment had stainless steel, this is a first for me to see wood doors. I know regulations for wood (HT pallets), no wood handled utensils are allowed in GMP areas.... but can't find anything regarding doors.

2) Can we use plastic with metal twist ties (like the ones find in bread) to close up bags of Raw Ingredients and Components? or should we consider switching to zip ties? maybe re-usable type zip-ties?
- I've only ever seen zip-ties so this one I don't know. I don't know of a regulation that spells out this, but maybe zip ties are preferred to prevent air exposure or contaminants (seal better?)

Thanks!
