Klondike specializes in storing all kinds of products at our cold storage facilities for a variety of industries. Maintaining the freshness and quality of perishable goods so it arrives at it’s destination in top quality is crucial. Cold storage facilities play a vital role in ensuring that a wide range of products can be safely stored for extended periods, preserving their integrity and extending their shelf life. Here are four examples of products that are commonly stored:
1. Fresh Produce
Cold storage facilities play an important role in preserving the quality of fresh fruits and vegetables. These facilities provide the optimal temperature and humidity levels to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and slow down the ripening process. Apples, oranges, berries, leafy greens, and root vegetables are just a few examples of produce that can be effectively stored in these controlled environments, maintaining their nutritional value and crispness.
2. Dairy Products
Milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products are highly susceptible to spoilage due to their perishable nature. Cold storage warehouses ensure that these products remain safe for consumption by maintaining low temperatures, inhibiting the growth of bacteria, and preventing curdling or separation. By extending the shelf life of dairy products, these facilities aid in reducing food waste and meeting consumer demands for fresh, high-quality goods.
3. Meat and Seafood
Meat and seafood are highly perishable and require precise storage conditions to maintain quality and prevent bacterial growth. Cold storage offers the ideal environment for storing these products, with temperatures below freezing for long-term storage or slightly above freezing for short-term storage. By keeping these items at optimal temperatures, cold storage helps to extend shelf life, retain nutritional value, and reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses.
4. Frozen Foods
Frozen foods, such as fruits, vegetables, ready-to-eat meals, and ice cream, are best stored in cold storage facilities to maintain their taste, texture, and nutritional content. Freezing preserves the quality of these products, allowing consumers to enjoy them at their convenience while minimizing food waste. Coolers provide the required low temperatures to prevent freezer burn and ensure that frozen goods remain in excellent condition.
