Pet food cold storage is a critical part of the UK supply chain, ensuring products remain safe, compliant, and high quality from production through to distribution.
Many pet food products are derived from animal by-products (Category 3 materials), meaning they must be handled under strict regulations and stored in temperature-controlled environments.
Why Pet Food Requires Cold Storage
Pet food products often include:
- Meat derivatives
- Animal proteins
- Processed ingredients
These require controlled storage conditions to:
- Maintain quality
- Prevent contamination
- Ensure compliance
Temperature Requirements
- Chilled: 0°C to 5°C
- Frozen: -18°C or below
