Total Natural Quality
We are convinced that transforming sports nutrition into a 100% natural and healthy version requires a rigorous and scientifically validated approach. That's why at Salssa we work with what we consider our three pillars of total quality.
01
Manufacturing Quality
We evaluate our suppliers with a strict procedure that exceeds the required standards to ensure that Salssa has superior and unparalleled quality in sports nutrition.
Our quality team applies stringent food safety protocols and tests each production batch externally to ensure they meet the agreed nutritional and sensory values.
We hold BRCGS Food Safety certification (including the FSMA Preventive Controls Preparedness module), which ensures that our products are safe, legal, and of the highest possible quality.
Heavy metal analysis is conducted in accredited external laboratories, ensuring their absence. Our packaging is naturally BPA-free as it is 100% single-material polypropylene.
Although we only use natural and minimally processed ingredients, all our pouches have been tested and certified against doping substances specified in the Cologne List to ensure their safety for the highest level of competition.
02
Scientific Approach
Our founding team is not only made up of sports enthusiasts and health aficionados but is also scientifically driven. Pau holds a doctorate in nanomedicine, and Anna is a sports dietitian-nutritionist.
Every person and every sport discipline are unique. While they share basic needs like carbohydrates, electrolytes, and water, they also require flavours, textures, and nutritional profiles that are tailored. A scientific selection based on the wealth of micronutrients and macronutrients of each vegetable allows us to offer a vast range of sports adaptability in each pouch.
All our formulas are developed based on Anna's experience and the feedback from her athletes over more than 10 years. This has allowed us to combine theory with practice to create products guaranteed to have excellent digestibility.
The development and production of each formula has been supported by a diverse team of experts in sports nutrition, food technologists, and athletes. This way, we can create nutritious, enjoyable, and effective products.
We use crushed or juiced vegetables that maintain the natural balance between nutrients and water, prioritising those with better bioavailability and lower digestive load. We maintain an acceptable percentage of natural fibre to care for the gut microbiota without compromising digestion.
03
Positive Impact
What is the point of launching yet another traditional sports nutrition brand? This question underpins Salssa’s approach to offer disruptive and innovative products that enhance the overall health of athletes and leave a smaller footprint on our planet.
We use recyclable mono-material packaging, free of aluminium and with attached caps, which reduce waste and are designed for total and efficient recycling from the yellow bin.
We produce locally in Spain at a B Corp certified company, promoting local employment and reducing the environmental impact of the logistics chain, to build more coherent sports nutrition.
We have opted for the use of ingredients from the Mediterranean region in most of our formulas. This has a dual social/environmental advantage: on the one hand, the palatability of these ingredients is superior among the European public, and on the other hand, we reduce the carbon footprint of our products.
