Accreditations & Certifications

At Protein Partners, our certifications are a reflection of how we operate every single day — not a statement we make once a year. We are independently audited to the most demanding standards in the food and supplement manufacturing industry, and we are proud of the results those audits consistently return.

BRCGS Food Safety Standard — Issue 9, AA Grade

The BRCGS (Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards) Food Safety Standard is recognised worldwide as the benchmark for food manufacturing quality and safety. Achieving an AA grade — the highest grade achievable — demonstrates that Protein Partners operates at the very top of the industry.

This certification covers our entire production operation, encompassing food safety management, HACCP compliance, environmental monitoring, personnel hygiene, allergen control, traceability systems and quality management.

For our clients, a BRCGS AA grade certification from their contract manufacturer provides a high level of assurance when dealing with major retailers, distributors and regulatory authorities.

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)

Protein Partners is certified to Good Manufacturing Practice for the production and packing of sports nutrition food supplements. GMP certification demonstrates that our manufacturing processes consistently produce products that meet quality standards appropriate for their intended use.

GMP covers all aspects of production from raw material control and equipment maintenance through to personnel training, cleaning procedures and batch documentation. It is a foundational requirement for any serious supplement manufacturer and a standard that many of our clients, and their retailers, specifically require.

Why Accreditation Matters to Your Brand

Working with an accredited contract manufacturer matters for several important reasons:

  • Retail and distribution compliance: major retailers and distributors frequently require their suppliers to hold certified manufacturers
  • Consumer confidence: independently verified quality standards support brand credibility
  • Regulatory readiness: certified documentation supports compliance with UK and international food supplement regulations
  • Insurance and liability: manufactured by a certified facility reduces brand-side risk exposure
  • International market access: BRCGS certification is recognised and respected in markets worldwide
