Food-Grade Pallet FAQ

What makes a pallet "food-grade"?

Food-grade pallets are manufactured, inspected, and maintained to prevent contamination. They must be free of chemicals, pests, mold, and physical hazards that could transfer to food products.

Can used pallets be food-grade?

Yes, with proper inspection and cleaning. We carefully screen reconditioned pallets to ensure they have no history of chemical or hazardous material contact, then sanitize them thoroughly.

Do you provide certificates for audits?

Yes, we provide documentation including certificates of compliance, cleaning records, and chain of custody information for new pallets.

What about cold storage applications?

We offer cold-rated pallets designed for freezer and refrigerated environments. These resist moisture absorption and maintain structural integrity at low temperatures.

How do I know which type I need?

It depends on your specific application, regulatory requirements, and whether products have direct pallet contact. Our team can help you determine the right solution.
