Food Grade Pallets for Sale in Maryland

Yes, new wood pallets are an excellent choice for the food industry. They provide a clean, reliable, and contaminant-free surface for transporting goods. Many food producers, including our clients like Campbell Snacks and Nissin, rely on new pallets to ensure product integrity and hygiene throughout their supply chain. They can also be heat-treated to meet export and sanitary requirements.

A 'food grade' designation implies a pallet meets stringent hygiene standards. This means it is clean, non-toxic, and resistant to moisture and pests. For wood pallets, this often involves using new lumber and ensuring the pallet is stored in a clean environment. Heat treatment (ISPM-15) is also a common requirement, as it sanitizes the wood without chemicals, making it safe for food-related applications.

Absolutely. We specialize in creating custom pallet solutions tailored to unique requirements. Whether you need a specific size for retail displays, a reinforced design for heavy loads, or a particular construction for automated systems, our team can design and supply the perfect pallet for your food products, ensuring safe and efficient handling from production to delivery.

ISPM-15 is an international standard for treating wood packaging to prevent the spread of pests. It requires heat-treating wood to a core temperature of 56°C for 30 minutes. While it's primarily for international export, many food companies adopt it as a best practice for domestic shipments as well, as the chemical-free heat treatment process effectively sanitizes the wood, adding an extra layer of safety.
