What does AFS approval mean?

Associated Food Stores is a respected grocery distribution network serving independent retailers across the region. Becoming an approved vendor means Red Rock Salsa has completed an important part of the process to work with this network and grow responsibly while staying true to the quality and flavor that started it all.

Our first AFS order is a four-pallet delivery to the Farr West warehouse, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Red Rock Salsa.
