SALSA

SALSA is a  food safety certification scheme which is appropriate for smaller food producers and processors. By having SALSA certification, suppliers can demonstrate that they operate to standards that are recognised and accepted across the industry and exceed the minimum standards expected by enforcement authorities.

SALSA approval is only granted to suppliers who are able to demonstrate to an auditor that they are able to produce safe and legal food and are committed to continually meeting the requirements of the SALSA standard.

SALSA is a non-profit making joint venture between the four main trade associations representing the UK Food Chain featured on the right.  The Institute of Food Science and Technology operate the scheme throughout the UK.  All of these bodies make up the independently chaired Governance Committee which oversee the SALSA scheme.

Bowel Cancer UK

As our chosen charity, we work closely with Bowel Cancer UK to spread the message that it's important to eat a high fibre diet to help prevent bowel cancer.

Research into bowel cancer has identified that a healthy diet is a significant factor in reducing the risk of developing this disease and we have worked closely with Bowel Cancer UK to promote the benefits of eating a spelt-rich, high fibre diet to support the digestive system. Research has found that including three servings (90g) per day of whole grains into the diet is associated with a 20% reduction in the risk of developing bowel cancer.

More than 40 celebrity chefs and food writers have donated delicious and innovative spelt recipes to our Great British Spelt Recipes Campaign you can find these in our recipe section
