SALSA

Safe and Local Supplier Approval

SALSA (Safe and Local Supplier Approval) accreditation is the trusted food safety standard for small and micro food producers and suppliers across the UK. Achieving SALSA demonstrates your business meets robust requirements for food safety, quality management, and legal compliance – giving you credibility with retailers, wholesalers, and food service buyers. With SALSA, you unlock new market opportunities and show your commitment to producing safe, high-quality food. Compliancy Group makes the SALSA journey simple – guiding you through every step so you can focus on growing your food business with confidence.
