Certified Food Grade Salt is the foundation of trust in the global food industry. At SAMA UNITED, we often tell our partners that a salt crystal might look simple to the naked eye, but its “identity card”—its certifications—is what truly defines its value. In an era where food safety regulations are stricter than ever, buying salt is no longer just a transaction of minerals; it is a transaction of trust and documentation.
As a specialist at SAMA UNITED, I have spent years helping food manufacturers navigate the complex world of international audits. We understand that for your business, a missing certificate or a failed quality test can result in rejected shipments and a damaged reputation. In this guide, I will share the “insider’s view” on what you should look for in Certified Food Grade Salt and why samaunited is the preferred partner for companies that demand excellence.

Why Certifications are the “Global Language” of Food Safety
In the international market, a logo on a bag of salt is much more than a marketing tool. It tells a story of how the salt was mined, processed, and handled. When you source Certified Food Grade Salt from SAMA UNITED, you are ensuring that your product can travel anywhere in the world—from the shelves of Europe to the markets of the Middle East—without legal or safety hurdles.
Certifications act as a universal language. They tell a health inspector in one country that the supplier in another country followed the exact same safety protocols. Without these certifications, you are essentially gambling with your brand’s safety.
1. HACCP: The Shield Against Contamination
The first thing you should look for is the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) certification. At SAMA UNITED, we take HACCP very seriously. This system identifies every point in the production process where a hazard could occur—whether it’s physical (like a piece of metal), chemical (like a cleaning agent), or biological.
When you buy Certified Food Grade Salt, the HACCP badge ensures that the supplier has “eyes” on the product from the moment it leaves the mine until it is sealed in the bag. At samaunited, our critical control points are monitored daily to ensure that the salt you receive is as pure as the earth intended.
2. ISO 22000: The Gold Standard of Management
While HACCP focuses on the product, ISO 22000 focuses on the entire food safety management system. It combines the principles of HACCP with a high-level management structure.
A supplier holding an ISO 22000 certification, like SAMA UNITED, is proving that they have a “culture of safety.” This means every employee, from the logistics driver to the CEO, is committed to maintaining the highest food standards. For a large-scale food manufacturer, this certification is non-negotiable because it guarantees consistent quality in every single batch.
3. Religious and Cultural Certifications: Halal and Kosher
In 2025, the global food market is more diverse than ever. To reach the widest audience, your Certified Food Grade Salt must be inclusive. At SAMA UNITED, we ensure our salt is both Halal and Kosher certified.
These certifications aren’t just about religious rituals; they are also perceived by many consumers as an extra layer of quality control. They ensure that the salt has not come into contact with any prohibited substances and that the processing facility is maintained to a high level of cleanliness.
4. The Certificate of Analysis (CoA): The Truth in Numbers
Every shipment of Certified Food Grade Salt from SAMA UNITED is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (CoA). As a facility manager, this is your most important document. A reliable CoA should tell you:
-
Purity (NaCl %): Usually 99.5% or higher for food grade.
-
Moisture Content: Lower moisture means better flowability in your machines.
-
Heavy Metal Limits: Ensuring lead, arsenic, and mercury levels are within safe, microscopic limits.
-
Insoluble Matter: Proving there is no sand or grit that could damage your equipment.
At samaunited, we provide a CoA that is transparent and easy to read, giving your quality control team the data they need to approve the batch instantly.
Traceability: The “Samaunited” Commitment
One of the most important aspects of Certified Food Grade Salt is traceability. If a problem ever arises, can your supplier tell you exactly which part of the mine that salt came from?
At SAMA UNITED, we have built a “seed-to-shelf” style traceability system for our minerals. Every bag has a batch number that links back to the production date, the refinery shift, and the specific geological deposit. This level of accountability is rare in the mineral industry, but we believe it is essential for the safety of the global food chain.

Logistics: Maintaining Certification from Mine to Warehouse
A common tragedy in our industry is when a perfect, certified product is ruined by poor transport. If salt is carried in a truck that previously held fertilizers or chemicals, its “certified” status is technically voided by contamination.
This is why SAMA UNITED manages its own dedicated logistics network. We ensure that:
-
Transport is Dedicated: Our vehicles only handle food-grade minerals.
-
Packaging is Tamper-Evident: We use high-strength, sealed bags that show immediately if someone has tried to open them.
-
Climate Control: We protect the salt from moisture, which can cause clumping and affect the chemical stability of the iodine or anti-caking agents.
