FOOD SAFETY
MANAGING
THE COLD
Processors share best practices and challenges of maintaining
product temperatures for refrigerated and frozen products.

As the fresh pet food and treat market continues to grow
and demand spreads across the country, so too must the
cold chain distribution system for suppliers, wholesalers
and distributors. These companies have created systems
and put best practices in place to keep their cold chains
intact from door to door while meeting increased demand and overcoming the challenges they see as barriers
to their success.
Jeff Poore, senior vice president of operations and
supply chain at Phillips Pet Food & Supplies, Easton,
Pennsylvania, says the wholesale distributor has adapted
to the growth of fresh and frozen options in pet food
and treats by expanding. In June, the company added
fresh and frozen capacity at all 14 of its distribution centers, including its facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which
opened in July.
To maintain the cold chain through its distribution channels, Phillips begins by setting its distribution
routes based on customer order variability and storage
capacity levels, Poore says. "At delivery, Phillips records
the product temperature on our driver's manifest, which
is signed by the customer," he says. "Phillips' delivery
methods are designed to hold product temperature until
they arrive at the customer locations."
Phillips maintains a tight operating procedure to ensure product remains at the appropriate temperature
during delivery and unloading, Poore says. "Phillips
measures the temperature of inbound products at several points in the unloading process," he explains. "The
products are moved to a temperature-controlled environment immediately after unloading. Any product out
of temperature is rejected."
Gaining ground
One of the brands that Phillips distributes is Freshpet,
refrigerated dog and cat food made from fresh, whole
Phillips Pet Food &
Supplies has expanded
its fresh and frozen
capacity at all 14 of
its distribution centers
to accommodate the
growth in this category.
