Nisa retailers stand to save thousands annually as the group progresses with a new technology trial in partnership with Kelsius. The cutting-edge food safety management system is currently being tested in selected stores. Kelsius undertook a three-month trial with independent retailer Gary Batten across his two Nisa stores in Cornwall. During the pilot, Batten saved up two hours of staff time per day at his store in St Stephens Cornwall, amounting to £10,000 a year.
His other Nisa store, based in Pentewan, Cornwall, allowed him to optimise up to one hour of colleague labour a day, saving £9,000 in annual costs. The innovative digital solution offers automated temperature monitoring and HACCP compliance tools via wireless sensors and probes. Retailers can access real-time data and generate reports that streamline audits and compliance processes, while digital checklists support consistent completion of daily hygiene and safety routines.
Danielle Guy, UK food retail sales manager for Kelsius, emphasised the value the system delivers, particularly amid the ongoing challenges in the retail sector. “With rising costs and persistent labour shortages, retailers are under more pressure than ever to find efficiency gains,” she said. “The Kelsius system empowers teams to ensure food safety is managed efficiently and consistently, without the burden of manual checks.”
Initial feedback from Nisa retailers suggests strong interest in rolling out the technology more widely following the trial phase, citing time savings, enhanced traceability, and reduced risk of human error.
In May 2018 Co-op Wholesale completed its acquisition of Nisa Retail Limited. Working with the Co-op, Nisa Partners still have the freedom to operate independently. They have the flexibility, insight, and tailored support they need to thrive, backed by Co-op’s industry-leading own-brand range, supply chain expertise, and buying power.

Ensuring food safety is a paramount concern for UK food retailers, as it directly impacts consumer health, brand reputation, and regulatory compliance. Navigating the complexities of food safety regulations can be challenging, but with the right tools and systems, retailers can maintain high standards and streamline their operations.
The UK enforces stringent food safety laws to protect consumers and uphold food quality. Key legislation includes the Food Safety Act 1990 and the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013, which mandate that businesses ensure food is safe for consumption and meet hygiene standards.
Retailers are required to implement effective food safety management systems, conduct regular hazard analyses, and maintain detailed records of their processes. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties, including fines, legal action, and damage to brand reputation.
Kelsius offers innovative digital solutions designed to assist UK retailers in overcoming these challenges:
