At which temperature do you believe is the cargo of this delivery truck all day? But more importantly, is your packaging adequate to ensure that your food will remain below 5☌ until the end of the day? It could be in the delivery truck until 6 pm tonight until it is dropped off at the recipient’s location. It flew to its destination overnight and probably left for delivery around 7 am this morning. Now imagine the fresh food you just shipped across the country. If you are a food producer, you are aware of the “danger zone,” and you know your food cannot be exposed to temperatures between 5☌ and 60☌ (40 to 140☏) for more than 2 hours and that you must throw it away after 4 hours in the danger zone ( Ref: 2 Hour/4 Hour Rule Explained).

What are the costs of shipping perishables?. What is the best shipping option for perishables? Who is the best shipper?. How will you ensure that your perishables arrive at their destination still fresh and unspoiled?. Which packaging should you use to ship temperature-sensitive products, perishables, and fresh food?. Which temperature does your package reach during shipping by mail (USPS, UPS, or FedEx)? How hot can it get?. We are also sharing the best articles we found during our literature review. Well, we did the tests and are sharing the results with you. Many articles may leave you feeling puzzled, as the only recommendation they give you is to “ test out” the appropriate packaging for your products. We also did our own time-temperature tests with various packages (insulated materials and gel packs) to learn which one kept the perishables at refrigerated temperatures (below 4☌/40☏) and for how long. To answer those questions, we did a literature search. We had to ship cheese, and we researched for the most affordable yet safe way of shipping it. For our Cheese Companions business, we faced those challenges. But shipping perishables may also seem out of reach in terms of costs for your small business. Non perishables license#
You could even lose your food license if you don’t ship food safely. You are probably concerned about the costs of shipping food as well as the issues of food safety, especially for perishables.
