Case Study: Christeyns Food Hygiene achieves trusted hand sanitiser certification with BSI Kitemark™

How the BSI Kitemark™ is Helping Christeyns Food Hygiene Stand Out in an Expanding Market

Christeyns Food Hygiene, a Warrington-based manufacturer of specialist cleaning products for the food, brewing and pharmaceutical industries, needed a way to differentiate its hand sanitiser range during the surge in demand caused by COVID-19. With many new entrants in the market, the company wanted to reassure customers that its alcohol-based products were effective, safe, and skin-friendly. BSI supported Christeyns by offering the Kitemark certification for Hygienic Hand Sanitiser.

BSI helped Christeyns Food Hygiene achieve BSI Kitemark certification in June 2020, making it the first company in the world to earn this mark for hand sanitiser products. The certification provided independent third-party validation against relevant standards, helping Christeyns stand out with a trusted quality mark and giving customers confidence that the products were effective and safe. The result was a distinct market advantage and stronger brand recognition in the UK and mainland Europe.
