FDA Approved Food Grade Plastic Pallets

Food-safe pallets are typically marked with specific stamps or certifications. Look for pallets stamped 'HT' (heat-treated) rather than 'MB' (methyl bromide treated). For plastic pallets, confirm they are made from FDA-approved resins. Ask your supplier for documentation confirming food-grade compliance, and inspect pallets for signs of chemical contamination, staining, or damage before use.

Grade A pallets are in excellent condition — structurally sound with minimal cosmetic damage, no broken boards, and suitable for demanding or food-safe applications. Grade B pallets show more visible wear and minor repairs but remain functional for general warehousing. For food and beverage applications, Grade A or new pallets are typically recommended to reduce contamination risk.

The most common size is the industry-standard 48x40 inch GMA pallet, which is compatible with most warehouse racking, forklifts, and shipping systems.
