Refrigerated Storage for Different Types of Food Products

When it comes to needing refrigerated storage in the Upper Midwest, make sure that you know exactly what your business requires. Especially if you are shipping food products that involve refrigeration, it’s important to work with an experienced team, like the professionals at Minnesota Freezer Warehouse Company, who understand the right handling, temperature, and approach for all your products. Refrigerated storage is the best way to go.

Refrigerated Storage

Here are a few commonly shipped cold foods and the exact specifications for making sure they stay safe in transit.

Meat, Poultry, and Fish

With these types of products, it’s important to make sure that everything is packaged separately and stored safely under plastic. Chilled meat, poultry, and fish should be properly labeled and promptly discarded if they start to show any signs of discoloration. When not being shipped they need to be in refrigerated storage.

Eggs

Eggs usually stay freshest when they are kept in the carton, and should be refrigerated before, during, and after transit. Generally, properly refrigerated eggs can stay fresh for 3 to 5 weeks.

Milk and Dairy Products

It’s important to make sure to keep your milk and dairy products extra cold. If mishandled, milk and dairy can be prone to bacterial growth, so it’s very important to ensure you’ve got an experienced, professional team working with you to support your business and ensure your products are being handled safely and correctly.

Grain

Although most folks don’t think of refrigerating grain, this can be a great way to extend the life of your flour and wheat. When refrigerated, flour can keep for 1 to 3 months, or 2 to 6 months if frozen.

Refrigerated Storage is Necessary for Many Different Foods
