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 Lake, 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.
The food & beverage industry in Georgia - including operations throughout Dekalb Pine 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.

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 Lake, 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 Dekalb Pine County.
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 Lake food processors pursuing SQF Level 3 or BRC AA certification, heat treated pallets significantly simplify your pallet hygiene program and audit documentation.
Yes, with restrictions.
