Brigit's Cook Ltd

SALSA Approved Brigit's Cook Ltd demonstrates in our latest Success Story how engagement with the SALSA process can support business growth, team development and confidence in food safety.

Brigit's Cooks Ltd operates a busy central production kitchen, supplying pastries, cakes and afternoon tea items for its Covent Garden bakery, bus tours and catering operations across London. As production volumes increased, the business recognised the need for a trusted, practical food safety framework that could grow with them – they chose SALSA.

From the outset, the audit process was approached as a learning opportunity rather than a tick-box exercise. This commitment was evident to SALSA Auditor Fidelma Pogorelow, who has supported the business through successive audits:

“Brigit’s demonstrated a strong management team who took a genuine interest in the SALSA process, attending audit meetings and asking pertinent questions. It is clear they are fully committed to engaging with the SALSA scheme.”

Since first achieving SALSA Approval, the business has continued to invest in people and systems. Between audits, Brigit’s appointed and developed a dedicated Technical/Quality Manager, expanded its production area and embedded food safety into everyday working practices. Clear communication with food handlers, visible food safety messaging and confident, well-trained staff were all highlighted during audit visits.

SALSA Approval has helped Brigit's Cook Ltd strengthen traceability, improve consistency and build their customer and supplier confidence. SALSA has provided a solid foundation to safely manage high production volumes while supporting continued growth.
