When it comes to food grade warehouses, there are many different types and a whole slew of options. The following tips will help you determine which warehousing solution best matches your needs.
- Determine your needs—What kind of food storage do you require? Do your goods need to be frozen, refrigerated, or stored dry? How much space will you require? How long will your products typically be stored before being shipped out? These are all questions that need to be answered to give you a clearer idea of what you need.
- Cleanliness matters—For all types of food storage, cleanliness is of the utmost importance. It’s absolutely essential that the warehouse facilities are immaculate and properly maintained to prevent bacteria growth or other health hazards. It’s also important to make certain the building has proper pest control to prevent rats, roaches, and other pests from getting into your food.
- Focus on experience—Food grade storage requires a level of expertise and experience that the average warehouse company might not possess. The staff needs to truly understand the intricacies of food storage so you can be certain they’ll handle your goods properly.
