As the others have mentioned, if there were no GMPs I believe most companies would not follow the guidelines set forth for good manufacturing processes mainly due to the money. Focusing on following standards makes for extra resources and time, which the company can save on if there weren’t GMPs. However, the reason they are there is to create a standard and to make sure each process is optimal and there are no backdoor ways in creating a good product. Due to this, if there were no GMPs I believe that another alternative guidelines or standards would rise up in its place. In the end, it is about saftey for the consumer and not following any sort of proper standard puts the company in jeopardy if the consumer is affected negatively and they decide to sue.
