Food Grade Pallets in Climax, GA

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 Climax, Georgia 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a pallet 'food grade' for Climax 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 Climax, 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 Decatur County.

Do I need heat treated pallets for food processing in Climax, Georgia?

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 Climax 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 Climax?

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 Climax customers with documentation of chain of custody.
