In the cold storage industry, maintaining the right environment is crucial for preserving the quality and safety of perishable goods. From meat to dairy and frozen foods, every product has specific cold storage requirements to prevent spoilage, retain nutritional value, and meet regulatory standards. Interstate Cold Storage (ICS) is committed to meeting and exceeding these requirements, ensuring that products are stored in ideal conditions from the moment they enter our facilities.
The cornerstone of cold storage is temperature control. Different categories of goods require distinct temperatures to remain safe and fresh. For instance, fresh produce is typically stored between 32°F and 55°F, while frozen foods need temperatures as low as -10°F to maintain their integrity. At ICS, we provide tailored storage solutions that offer precise temperature settings for a variety of products, ensuring optimal preservation.
Humidity is another critical factor in cold storage. Too much moisture can lead to mold growth or spoilage, while too little can cause products to dry out or degrade. Our state-of-the-art storage facilities are equipped with advanced humidity control systems, designed to maintain the perfect balance to keep products fresh for extended periods.
ICS adheres to stringent industry regulations, including USDA and FDA guidelines, to ensure the safety of stored products. These regulations set strict requirements for temperature, sanitation, and record-keeping, which we follow rigorously.
Whether you need storage for frozen, refrigerated, or fresh products, Interstate Cold Storage offers the technology and expertise to meet your needs. We prioritize maintaining the highest standards for food safety and quality in our facilities, making us a trusted partner in the cold storage industry.
