Who is SALSA for?

Suppliers who should consider registering with SALSA are those companies who typically;

• already supply national buyers on a local or regional level
• supply to a defined locality, area or region ('locality food')
• produce specialist, artisan products under their own company brand
• are of a size where local and regional supply is the best option for sustainability

Buyers will ask companies to use or in some cases; consider the use of the SALSA scheme, as part of their purchasing arrangements. Each buyer will decide how best to utilise SALSA within its own purchasing policy.  If you are talking to any particular buyers you should check their policy first.  Many are indicating how they will use the SALSA scheme on their own websites. 

If you currently hold or are seeking certification of a 'higher' food safety management Standard, such as the BRC Global Standard, SALSA may not be appropriate for you.
