WHY TWO FOOD SAFETY STANDARDS?
We produce our goods to two different food safety standards. The “BRC” Global Food Standard (issue 6) is the more stringent one. Where we are exporting our goods or making in larger quantities we feel that the BRC Global standard is the right one. The SALSA standard is more suited to our local supply as it allows us to be quicker to innovative within the local supply chain whilst still maintaining a good recognised food safety standard.
Many of our local customers understand the SALSA standard better than the BRC, probably because they have it themselves. It makes sense for us to keep both.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
We use the latest software for supplying customer product specifications in multiple formats. Our technical team use Hamilton Grant recipe modelling software to provide you with speedy specifications of ingredients listings, nutritional data, allergen labelling etc.
