Georgia is the #1 broiler chicken state in the US. Poultry processing plants across North Georgia, Florida, and the mid-Atlantic depend on food-safe, USDA-compliant pallets to move refrigerated poultry products through the supply chain.
Poultry processing is one of the most demanding food-safety environments for pallets. USDA-inspected facilities require different pallet types for processing floor versus dry storage and distribution areas.
Georgia's broiler corridor - Hall, Gainesville, Habersham, and Murray counties - processes hundreds of millions of birds annually. Finished product moves on 48x40 GMA pallets in refrigerated trailers to grocery DCs and foodservice warehouses across the eastern US. Florida Pallet Supply delivers food-safe GMA pallets to poultry operations across GA, FL, NJ, MD, and DE.
In USDA-inspected processing areas, plastic pallets are the standard choice due to their non-porous, sanitizable surface. For cold storage and distribution operations, wood GMA pallets work well at significantly lower cost. See our plastic vs wood pallets comparison for full guidance. Poultry exports require ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets for international shipment compliance.
