What is SALSA Certification?
SALSA (Safe and Local Supplier Approval) is a UK-recognised food safety certification scheme designed specifically for small and local food producers, manufacturers, and suppliers. It provides a practical and achievable standard that demonstrates your commitment to food safety and legal compliance.
SALSA certification is widely accepted by retailers, wholesalers, and food service businesses across the UK. Achieving certification shows that your business operates to a robust food safety management system, giving your customers confidence in your products.
For many businesses, SALSA certification is also a stepping stone to larger standards such as BRCGS, making it a valuable long-term investment.
