South Downs Water is now SALSA approved!

We’re excited to share some fantastic news – South Downs Water has officially received SALSA (Safe and Local Supplier Approval) approval! This significant accomplishment is a testament to our unwavering commitment to upholding the highest standards in the industry.

What is SALSA (Safe and Local Supplier Approval)

SALSA (Safe and Local Supplier Approval) is a food safety certification scheme designed for food producers and suppliers. It was developed by experienced food safety experts and is recognised and accepted across the industry. The certification ensures that approved suppliers operate to standards that exceed the minimum requirements set by enforcement authorities.

To obtain SALSA approval, companies must demonstrate to auditors that they can consistently produce and supply safe and legal food. The scheme is overseen by the Institute of Food Science and Technology (IFST). Overall, SALSA aims to promote food safety and quality within the industry and provide reassurance to consumers regarding the products they purchase.

South Downs Water’s SALSA Approval

SALSA approval is not easily attained; it is only granted to suppliers who can demonstrate their ability to produce beverages and food that are both safe and legal, while also exhibiting an ongoing dedication to meeting the rigorous requirements of the SALSA standard. Therefore, this recognition is a testament to our team’s commitment to ensuring the quality and safety of our Natural Mineral Water products.

Rachel Orr, our Operations Manager, expressed her enthusiasm about this achievement:

“SALSA is a great platform for us to grow our business giving both our existing and new customers, the confidence that we are consistently operating to a recognised standard that promotes product quality and drives continuous improvement in our processes. Achieving SALSA is a real achievement for South Downs Water and shows the passion and commitment within the team to deliver consistently high standards in our products”.

At South Downs Water, our journey towards SALSA approval began with a comprehensive evaluation of our operations and practices. This involved thoroughly examining our production processes, sourcing, quality control measures, and adherence to food and drink safety regulations. The SALSA standard demands excellence in these areas, ensuring that approved suppliers prioritise consumer safety and maintain the highest levels of quality throughout their operations.

By undergoing the SALSA approval process, we have demonstrated our commitment to providing our customers with the highest quality products. Our success in achieving this certification showcases our ability to consistently meet the demanding requirements of the food and beverage industry, as well as our dedication to continuous improvement.

As a SALSA-approved supplier, South Downs Water can now proudly display the SALSA logo on our products, assuring our customers that they are choosing a brand that adheres to stringent food safety and quality standards. This symbol serves as a visual representation of our dedication to delivering products that are safe, delicious, and reliable.

In conclusion

In conclusion, South Downs Water’s attainment of SALSA’s approval validates the hard work, dedication, and passion of our team in consistently delivering products and processes of exceptional quality. We invite our customers to join us in celebrating this milestone and to enjoy the peace of mind that comes with choosing South Downs Water – a brand that prioritises safety, quality, and customer satisfaction above all else.
