We have verified with our supplier that this Himalayan salt comes from DRY mines.
Our supplier has GMP and BRC certifications and a portion of their Fair Trade Policy is covered under these. They also have SA8000 certification which requires meeting a set of stringent guidelines to ensure social compliance. The guidelines include giving back to the community. In this case they have set up a welfare school (with no school fee) and a welfare clinic in the vicinity of their factory where there is an abundance of poor/low income families.
