One site means one team and one record. The people who developed your formula work a short walk from the line that makes it, which is how problems get solved quickly, and every batch record sits in one quality system. Our registration, certificates and contact details are listed on our company facts page.
The site's BSI certificates, FDA registration and insurance
British VitaTech is ISO 9001, HACCP and GMP certified by BSI, and FDA registered. BRCGS implementation under way, certification expected in early 2027. Each BSI certificate opens in BSI's online directory, where anyone can check the holder, scope and dates:
- ISO 9001:2015 quality management: BSI certificate FS 822806, valid from 3 April 2025 to 2 April 2028.
- HACCP and GMP food safety, to Codex Alimentarius: BSI certificate HACCP 827076, valid from 23 July 2025 to 22 July 2028, covering food supplements in capsules, gummies, pouches and liquids.
- US FDA: an FDA registered food facility for dietary supplements, current to 31 December 2026 with our renewal under way, and the registration number shared in our quality pack.
- Insurance: £5m product liability insurance with worldwide cover.
Our quality and accreditations page explains each certificate and its scope.
How quality works on site
- We run a HACCP study for each product type, reviewed annually, and labels are verified on every batch as the critical control point.
- Suppliers are approved before any material is used and reviewed every year, and incoming materials are held until quality control releases them against their specification.
- Our allergen management plan, with yellow colour coding, controls allergens from goods-in to label.
- Every batch is tested by accredited partner laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025), and batch testing is part of every order.
- Quality control releases every batch against its specification, and nothing is dispatched without quality control sign-off. Non-conformances close only with QA and Operations sign-off.
- Every order ships with its certificate of analysis and batch release confirmation.
- We keep three retained samples per batch for shelf life plus one year.
- A full mock recall, forward and backward with mass balance, runs in seconds.
Mass balance is what makes a recall credible: the quantity of each material received is reconciled against what went into product, what remains in stock and what was wasted. Your product file holds the batch records, test results and traceability data behind every batch, the evidence your own due diligence rests on. Our testing and batch release page sets out the tests.
From goods-in to dispatch on one site, with partners behind us
We take on programmes larger than ourselves, and we and our partner network of testing laboratories, ingredient suppliers, development partners and machinery specialists scale with the brief, as our large programmes page sets out.
- Production. We make capsules, softgels, tablets, gummies, powders, sachets and stick packs, liquids, shots and sprays, liposomal formats, oral pouches, drinks, coffee and tea, bars, gum and cosmetics here. Each batch moves from goods-in and weighing to production, packing and quality control release on the one site.
- Research and development. Our R&D team develops each formula from brief to scale-up, with stability testing and sensory work. R&D is a paid stage that can be included with an order of the right size. Your formula is yours. See how our research and development works.
- Packaging. We develop and supply the packaging for every product we make, with the data brands need for packaging EPR, as our supplement packaging development page explains.
- Fulfilment. We ship finished retail units or split shipments across your fulfilment partners through our fulfilment services.
One UK pouch brand, a client since 2023, grew with us from a small brand to over 30,000 units a month. Our R&D team developed four distinct formulas for it, and we split its shipments across its fulfilment partners. In the brand's words: "They've felt less like a supplier and more like a partner in the business."
Made here for the UK, the EU and the US, marketplaces included
We prepare products and documents for the UK, the EU and the US, and our clients sell in Europe, the USA and Mexico. We guided the same pouch brand through regulatory and compliance checks as it expanded into each of those markets.
- UK and EU. We screen every ingredient for novel food status in-house against the public registers and build labels with claims from the GB and EU registers in their exact wording.
- US. We are an FDA registered food facility for dietary supplements, and we share our registration number with brands and their importers on request, for the prior notice filed before each US shipment. Amazon US and TikTok Shop US are full markets: we make products for them and prepare the documents they ask for.

Questions brands ask
Where is British VitaTech's supplement factory?
Our factory is at 1 Brook Street, Whetstone, Leicester, LE8 6LA, United Kingdom, in the Blaby district of Leicestershire, south of Leicester. Clean-room production, our R&D and quality teams, and fulfilment sit on one site, and everything British VitaTech sells is made there. British VitaTech is the trading name of BVT Labs Ltd, and the same address is our registered office.
What do you make at the Whetstone facility?
We make capsules, softgels, tablets, gummies, powders, sachets and stick packs, liquids, shots and sprays, liposomal formats, oral pouches, drinks, coffee and tea, bars, gum and cosmetics at our Whetstone facility, and everything British VitaTech sells is made there. Bespoke is our business model: if it can be made and sold legally, we can develop it. We develop and supply the packaging for every product we make, and your formula is yours.
Which certifications does the facility hold?
British VitaTech is ISO 9001, HACCP and GMP certified by BSI, and FDA registered. Our ISO 9001 certificate is BSI FS 822806 and our HACCP and GMP certificate is BSI HACCP 827076, covering food supplements in capsules, gummies, pouches and liquids, and anyone can check both in BSI's online directory. BRCGS implementation under way, certification expected in early 2027. We are an FDA registered food facility for dietary supplements, and we share our registration number in our quality pack.
Can we visit the factory?
Yes, by appointment. Ask through Start your project, tell us what you would like to see and who will come, and we will arrange the visit. You can review our quality pack before you arrive: it holds copies of our BSI certificates, a HACCP summary and a worked traceability example, shared under confidentiality. Our office hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
How is each batch checked before it leaves the site?
Quality control releases every batch against its specification, and nothing is dispatched without quality control sign-off. Every batch is tested by accredited partner laboratories as part of every order, and labels are verified on every batch as the critical control point in our HACCP study. We keep three retained samples per batch for shelf life plus one year, and a full mock recall, forward and backward with mass balance, runs in seconds.
Do you handle fulfilment from the same site?
Yes. Fulfilment sits on the same site as production, so finished stock goes from quality control release to dispatch without leaving our facility. We ship finished retail units or split shipments across your fulfilment partners, as we do for a UK pouch brand that has grown with us since 2023 and expanded into Europe, the USA and Mexico. Our fulfilment services page sets out the options.
