Please advice: we manufacturing vegan snacks (not high risk) and using co-packer. We want to get SALSA accreditation (UK) but Salsa says we can't because we use co-packer. Co-paker has BRC. Is it true that we cant be certified because we don't pack ourselves and its not in our HACCP?

Thank you.

If you wanted the "full" BRC route, the appropriate standard would be either Agents & Brokers or Storage & Distribution.

If you're wanting a gentler introduction to certification for your food safety management system then the new(ish) SALSA Broker, Storage and Distribution scheme is probably the one to go for: https://www.salsafoo...k/about.php?p=8
