Quality and documentation.
What is supplied, how approval works, and what you can ask for. The exact controls depend on what is being made, so the technical requirements are agreed at the start.
Production is matched to the right route for the product, the format and the volume.
SALSA-approved production routes are available where a project needs them. Accreditation belongs to the production facility, and current certificates are supplied during technical approval.
Product approval, in order.
Brief.
What is being made, the format, the volumes, and any technical requirements you have.
Sample approval.
You approve a sample. The approved sample is retained as the reference for every batch.
Agreed formulation and specification.
The recipe and the specification are fixed in writing before anything else moves.
Pack and label approval.
Artwork, pack format and label detail signed off by you before print.
Production authorisation.
The final go-ahead from you. Production runs against the agreed specification, nothing else.
Change control on reorders.
The recipe, specification and artwork stay fixed. Any change goes through you before it goes into production.
Documentation available.
- Product specification or data sheet
- Ingredient declaration
- Allergen matrix
- Nutritional data
- Batch and lot information
- Shelf life and storage information
Confidentiality and recipes
NDA signed before any detail is shared, where you want one. A recipe you bring stays yours. A recipe developed for you is yours once development is paid.
Repeat supply
Once approved, the recipe, the specification and the artwork are fixed. Any change goes through you before it goes into production. Finished stock can be held and called off against a forecast.
