Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a pallet 'food grade' for Foley food operations?

A food grade pallet must be free from toxic chemical contamination, physically clean and intact, made from food-safe wood species, and ideally heat treated. For FDA compliance in Foley, the standard is new wood pallets (no prior use) OR recycled pallets from documented food-only supply chains. We provide documentation for all food grade pallets we deliver to Baldwin County.

Do I need heat treated pallets for food processing in Foley, Alabama?

Heat treatment (ISPM-15) is required for international food export, and is strongly recommended for domestic food operations as it eliminates wood-boring insects and mold spores. For Foley food processors pursuing SQF Level 3 or BRC AA certification, heat treated pallets significantly simplify your pallet hygiene program and audit documentation.

Can I use recycled pallets for food grade operations in Foley?

Yes, with restrictions. Recycled pallets used in food grade applications must come from documented food-only supply chains - meaning they have never carried chemicals, industrial products, or contaminated goods. Grade A food-grade recycled pallets are available and save 40-50% vs. new. We maintain food-grade-only recycled pallet inventory for Foley customers with documentation of chain of custody.
