“SALSA is an ideal certification scheme for small and medium sized seafood processors wishing to demonstrate their credentials to existing
and potential customers.”

Launched in March 2007, SALSA is now firmly established as the Food Safety Certification Scheme for small, local and niche suppliers. With the increasing popularity of local and regionally sourced products among industry and consumers, SALSA provides confidence to national and regional buyers that approved businesses not only make fantastic products, but do so in a safe and legal manner.

SALSA is supported by the Food Standards Agency, DEFRA and by the majority of the UK’s leading retailers and food service providers.
