Food grade pallets are critical for businesses handling human food, animal feed, beverages, and food ingredients. FDA guidelines and SQF/BRC/FSSC 22000 certification requirements mandate the use of clean, new or food-grade-only recycled pallets to prevent contamination of food supply chains.

Our food grade pallet program specifies: new wood pallets (no prior chemical or toxic material contact), or Grade A recycled pallets from food-grade-only supply chains, heat treated to ISPM-15 standard (which also eliminates biological contamination risk), and documentation of pallet sourcing for audit compliance.
The food & beverage industry in Alabama - including operations throughout Dale County - represents one of the largest pallet consumption segments.
