Dairy products are among the most hygiene-sensitive in the food supply chain. Pallets in dairy facilities must meet strict sanitation standards to prevent contamination throughout the cold chain from farm to retail.
Milk and dairy product loads are typically 1,500 to 2,500 lbs per pallet, well within GMA capacity ratings, but cold and wet dairy environments accelerate pallet degradation. Food grade pallets that are clean, dry, and properly constructed are essential.
