AA+ is the highest grade attainable under the BRCGS Food Safety standard, a result that reflects the dedication, professionalism and hard work of the entire Bromborough team.

BRCGS approved for Food Safety certification provides supplement and nutraceutical brands with independently verified assurance that our contract packing facility operates to the most rigorous standards of food safety, quality and compliance. 

Achieving this grade following a three-day audit is no small feat, and we’d like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone across the site for their continued commitment to maintaining Chester Medical’s position as a first-class facility.

A special thank you goes to Lynne and Claire for their exceptional hard work and dedication in preparing for and supporting the audit process.
