A free workshop will be hosted by Jacqui Slatter from SALSA Scheme and Rachel Goff from The Food and Drink Forum to demystify food certification and help you prepare for an audit. A business case study will bring to life what is needed to become certified.

The seminar will go through the options and benefits of following a food safety system or scheme to improve consistency in your processes and to help with plans to move into retail or wholesale. The sessions will look at audit requirements, the scope of the SALSA Scheme, changes coming and common non-conformances.
