我们时不时自豪地提起兰卡斯特啤酒厂的SALSA plus认证,但在之前的推送里从来没有详细地介绍它。随着本月另一款兰卡斯特啤酒“勇士IPA”登陆中国,我们觉得现在是时候告诉您了。
We like to shout about Lancaster Brewery’s SALSA plus accreditation once in a while, but we’ve never actually dug deep into what that is on our newsletter before. With yet another of our beers just arriving to China last month, Warrior IPA, we thought now would be a good time to tell you.
SALSA (Safe and Local Supplier Approval,本地供应商安全认证)是由英国食品安全专家们制定的标准,旨在明确生产商的法律要求和阐明专业买家对产品的期望。
SALSA (Safe and Local Supplier Approval) is a food-safety standard written by experienced food safety experts to reflect the legal requirements for producers and the expectations of professional buyers.
为了达到SALSA plus啤酒标准,酒厂必须在从酿造到装瓶等各个环节有着优秀的表现,必须证明员工真正明晰他们的工作职责,并执行无可挑剔的个人卫生和清洁标准,使得啤酒的质量符合标准要求。另外,污染和交叉污染的预防、废料控制和原材料控制也必须加以注意。
To be awarded the SALSA plus Beer Standard, the brewery have to show excellence in the brewing and bottling of its beers, it has to show that staff really know their stuff and display impeccable personal hygiene and cleaning standards, and that the beer matches the required quality. Contamination and cross contamination prevention, waste control, and control of raw materials all have to be taken care of as well.
另外,SALSA plus还包括一个由SALSA和Cask Marque共同制定的专注于啤酒行业的评估系统。
The SALSA plus includes an extensive, beer-specific module written by SALSA and Cask Marque, too.
简而言之,SALSA plus是一种对啤酒厂颁发的认证,目的是让顾客安心,保证他们买到的是高质量的啤酒。然而,获得这一认证绝非易事。从酿酒师到装瓶工,每个人都必须证明自己可以高质量地完成工作!
In short, the SALSA plus is an accreditation awarded to breweries to give customers some peace of mind that they’re getting a top quality pint. Getting this accreditation isn’t an easy feat, though. Everyone from the brewers to the bottlers have to prove themselves!

如今,在英国有着近1500家啤酒厂生产啤酒,令人眼花缭乱的产品,让零售商在挑选啤酒时苦恼不已。这时,SALSA plus啤酒认证能给予零售商对所采购产品的信心。因为只有那些有能力持续按照SALSA plus啤酒标准要求,生产出品质安全,工艺流程合法的啤酒的啤酒厂才可以被授予SALSA plus啤酒认证。
With nearly 1500 breweries now producing beer in the UK there is a bewildering choice for retailers when choosing their beers. The SALSA plus Beer Standard accreditation gives them confidence about the product they are buying as the approval certification is only granted to suppliers who are able to demonstrate to a SALSA auditor that they are able to produce safe and legal beer and are committed to continually meeting the requirements of the SALSA plus Beer Standard.

兰卡斯特啤酒厂在2016年就达到了SALSA plus啤酒标准要求,当时只有54家啤酒厂获得了这一认证。而且兰卡斯特啤酒厂也是兰开夏郡第一家取得这一认证的啤酒厂。取得认证以来,兰卡斯特啤酒厂一直保持着该认证所要求的高质量标准与高卫生标准! 截至2020年1月,取得SALSA plus认证的啤酒厂数量有所增加,但也仅有166家,要知道,而目前在英国运营的啤酒厂多达1500家。
Lancaster Brewery achieved the SALSA plus Beer Standard in 2016, when there were only 54 breweries with this accreditation. Lancaster Brewery was actually the first in Lancashire to reach such achievement, and they have maintained it since, proving their quality and high hygiene standards throughout the years! The number of SALSA Approved breweries, as of January 2020, is increased, but it is only 166, compared to the 1500 breweries operating currently in the UK.
