we will cover the temperature best practices from origination to destination, sanitary provisions, and traceability of food and technology around traceability.

Food tractability when Shipping Frozen Food

  1. Produce (Food) Traceability Initiative (PTI) to enhance traceability throughout the Food Supply Chain.
  2. Solutions to marking cases and pallets to meet PTI requirements.
  3. Steps to achieve traceability: Labeling and coding solutions: Laser coding and printer applications.
  4. Includes a Global Trade Identification Number (GTIN) for traceability of food en route to the customer overseas.
  5. Many other food companies are part of this initiative.
  6. Each 3PL or Supplier that consolidates frozen food should have traceability software and labels available to meet the PTI.

How to transport frozen food?

Please let us know in the comment section at the end, your thoughts and additions to the below when shipping frozen food.

When it comes to frozen food, this is often referred to as the Cold Chain. A cold chain is a temperature-controlled supply chain, according to Wikipedia.

Temperatures for cold supply chain

The required temperature is the responsibility of the exporter depending on the type of frozen food. However, the customer may have temperature specifications as part of their purchase order/agreement.

Shipping Frozen Food General

All frozen food must be held at an air temperature of 0 degrees F; the internal product temperature should not exceed 10 degrees F. Vehicles should be pre-cooled to an air temperature of 20 degrees F, or lower before loading.

Frozen food shipments will not be accepted for transportation when the internal product temperature exceeds 0 degrees.

The most common temperature standards are “banana” (13 degrees C), “Chill” (2 degrees C) and “Frozen” (-18 degrees C), and “Deep Frozen” (-29 degrees C).

Staying within these temperatures is vital to the integrity of a shipment along the cold supply chain and for perishables, it enables optimal shelf life. Any divergence can result in irrevocable and expensive damage.

The major cold chain technologies involve

Dry ice, gel packs, plates (filled with liquids and can be used many times), liquid nitrogen quilts (insulated pieces that are placed over and around the freight to act as a buffer in temperature variations and to maintain the temperature relatively constant and reefers (temperature-controlled container or truck).

The “last mile”: A shipment going to its destination. Trucks and vans, the primary modes of transportation for this stage, must meet the specifications necessary to transfer the cold chain transportation for this stage.

Also important is the final transfer of the shipment into the storage facilities, as there is potential for a breach of temperature integrity.

The forwarder advises the carrier of the ocean freight container on the requested temperature setting at the time of booking the freight. Prior to loading, the shipping line (or trucker) will pre-trip the reefer container.

Refrigerated International Shipping from UAE to all Gulf Countries

Refrigerated International Shipping Services by road freight process on the time. If we ship frozen food or like vegetables, Meat, or Eggs so we need to ship on the time otherwise all food items may be irrevocable and have expensive damage.

The reefer person will turn on and set the container to the proper temperature setting required by the exporter so that when it shows up for loading on the ocean vessel it will be at the exact temperature.

The shipping line has a meter that records the proper temperature during the duration of the trip. You receive a readout from this meter with constant temperature graphs.

Carriers offer “protected” services at the port. For a fee, the container yard /port/terminal will send a person out to check the fuel level of the reefer container and its functionality just to ensure nothing is wrong.

Sanitary Provisions when Shipping Frozen Food

All internal surfaces of vehicles and devices used for transporting frozen food shall be clean and free of objectionable odors before being loading with frozen food. shipping frozen food freight

Combination of RFID and TRACEABILITY when Shipping Frozen Food

  1. There is technology available to combine an RFID tag for Identification/traceability and temperature control.
  2. The RFID with a temperature indicator tag is a microchip combined with an antenna in a compact package.
  3. The packing is structured to allow the RFID tag to be attached to an object to be tracked. It also incorporates memory, a battery, and a clock to record sensor data in memory at constant intervals.
  4. The 3PL and/or the Supplier may have this technology available.
  5. 3PLs are combining GPS and temp tags.

In the next part of this series about shipping frozen food freight, we will cover Quality Specifications and export documentation.
