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.
Florida Pallet Supply delivers food grade pallets to Brandon, Florida food manufacturers, processors, distributors, and retailers. 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 Florida - including operations throughout Hillsborough County - represents one of the largest pallet consumption segments. From produce processing to beverage distribution to cold chain logistics, proper food grade pallet specification is essential for food safety certification compliance.
