Price Freeze!

First of all, we’d like to say a big thank you to all our members! 2020 has been so challenging in so many ways, both personally and professionally. We’ve seen our members, the UK’s smaller food and drink producers, really step up to the plate in all kinds of innovative and creative ways. We’ve felt very privileged to support such an amazing sector in their efforts to feed the nation, and in many cases to just keep going.

Price freeze! Normally at this time of year, we would be writing to you to let you know about our planned price increases. Not this time! 2020 prices will be frozen until further notice, so that we can in a small way better support those of you who have tough times to navigate.

We do however kindly ask that you plan ahead when your audit is due. Look out for our audit reminders in your inbox and allow plenty of time to work through the SALSA Approval process. Alternatives to the “normal” onsite audits will still be available for at least the early part of next year, so please do read our member guide to help you decide the best way forward.

We’re also excited to share with you our 2021 calendar of remote L2 HACCP courses – many of which are sector specific, allowing you to join, learn and share with similar businesses from across the country. And for those of you who may need some additional support with maintaining the SALSA system and standard, you can visit our new online mentor directory, and see the technical product experts who are in your area.

Finally, if you have any questions or concerns about renewing your SALSA membership during 2021, we’d really encourage you to call us – we’re here to help!

Wishing you all a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year

From Everyone at SALSA!
