Soil Association Accreditation
GREAT NEWS! We are now certified to store and distribute organic products by the Soil Association. Supplying you organic ingredients for your products that are certified to Soil Association organic standards.
The Soil Association is the charity working with everyone to transform the way we eat, farm and care for our natural world. To achieve certification:
All organic farms and food companies are thoroughly inspected at least once a year. They also need robust systems in place and paperwork that shows the standards are being met the rest of the time.
Once organic farms and food companies are certified as meeting strict organic standards, they are issued with a certificate and a trading schedule. This lists all the crops, livestock or products they are certified to trade as organic. This certificate acts like a passport and is necessary to prove the organic status of the goods when they are sold on.
For a food product to be labelled as organic, every organisation working up and down its supply chain – from farmers, to packers, to food processors, and organic retailers – have to meet organic standards and prove it to an organic certification body. Want to find out more? Call us on 01258 442828.
