Cold-chain routines that keep fruit bright from our depot to your shelf — intake checks, chill bands and packing.
Fresh fruit loses value every hour it sits warm. For wholesalers and the stores they supply, the cold chain is the difference between a five-day shelf life and a two-day markdown.
Our standard is simple: produce is graded, chilled and dispatched within hours of arrival at our depot. This article walks through our intake checks, temperature bands for soft fruit versus citrus, and the packing method that keeps berries bright through the last mile.
Whether you run a corner shop or a chain of delis, these are the same routines our own warehouse team follows every morning before the vans roll.
