Ice cream is more than just a favorite frozen treat, it’s a product that demands precise handling and storage to maintain its taste, texture, and safety. At Interstate Cold Storage, we understand the strict temperature controls and logistics required to deliver a premium ice cream experience from factory to freezer.
Ice cream must be stored at or below -20°F (-29°C) to preserve its quality. Even slight temperature fluctuations can cause ice crystals to form, leading to freezer burn or a gritty texture. Proper humidity levels, air circulation, and consistent freezing conditions are essential to avoid these issues.
In addition, the FDA requires frozen dairy products to remain below 0°F during distribution and storage. For manufacturers and distributors, failure to meet these standards can result in spoilage, compliance violations, and lost product.
With decades of experience in temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics, Interstate Cold Storage is a trusted partner for the ice cream industry. Our facilities are equipped with advanced refrigeration systems designed specifically for frozen food storage, including ultra-low temperature zones ideal for ice cream.
Here's how we support ice cream producers and distributors:
Ice cream storage isn't just about keeping things cold, it's about keeping them consistently cold.
