DISTRIBUTION

COLD
Processors of fresh and frozen pet foods
face unique distribution challenges.
By Richard Rowlands | petfoodprocessing@sosland.com
In recent years, fresh, preservative-free products have
become increasingly popular among pet owners.
However, these products come with a unique challenge
for pet food manufacturers and distributors - ensuring
the food is kept cold during transport and storage.
Without an effective cold chain management system,
fresh pet foods can quickly spoil, leading to waste and
customer dissatisfaction.
To maintain freshness and safety, pet food manufacturers
must employ a rigorous cold chain management
system that ensures proper temperature control from
production to delivery. This involves a combination of
temperature-controlled storage and transportation, as
well as monitoring temperatures at various points along
the supply chain. While this process can be costly, it is
essential to protect food safety and quality while maintaining
customer satisfaction.

that products are stored, transported and handled at the
right temperatures.
" We store our product locally to our manufacturing
