GA Pet Food Partners retains BRC Grade A status - for third year running.

GA Pet Food Partners, the UK's largest super premium private label dry pet food manufacturer, is one of a select number of pet food companies in Europe to retain for the 3rd time, the top grade of the much coveted British Retail Consortium (BRC) Global Standard for Food Safety.

It is used by certification bodies world-wide and is recognised as the benchmark for best practice in the manufacturing and retail supply chain. Following a switch to version five of the BRC standard, auditors revealed that other food firms have struggled to maintain their grades, falling from grade A to B, or even C.

Following rigorous audits, GA has successfully retained grade A status for its manufacturing site, based at Bretherton, near Preston. The news brings major benefits for everyone concerned - from the 150-strong workforce to a growing list of UK and overseas customers.

It verifies GA as the leader in quality and integrity for private label dry pet food, allowing pet food brands and companies to partner with GA with confidence.

A delighted sales and marketing director Ben Helm, described the latest standards as very tough adding that a 'fully committed and fantastic team effort' ensured the audit was hitch-free, ensuring that the Grade A status was attained for the 3rd year in succession.
