800-328-1955Choosing a food grade warehousing provider is a difficult task. Storing food products safely requires special amenities and a knowledgeable, attentive staff, and the fact is that most third party warehousing companies just aren’t properly equipped for safe food storage, whether for a short or long period of time.
When choosing food grade warehousing, one of the most important things you can do is to visit the warehouses you’re considering so you can see firsthand the type of premises they maintain. An onsite visit will allow you to truly determine whether or not this is a safe place to store your valuable food products.
Of course, you have to know what to look for when touring a food grade warehouse so you can make an informed decision. 
Here are a few key things to keep an eye out for when visiting a food warehouse:
Cleanliness matters. Ensure the premises aren’t littered with trash and that everything looks sanitary.
- Look for standing water both in and around the building.
- Look for signs of rodents – tracks or burrows.
- Make sure the building is in good condition with no holes or cracks in the walls and roof that could allow pests in.
- Ensure thermometers are being used in all frozen, refrigerated, and dry storage areas.
