Yes, Frozen food can Usually be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good.

Standard cargo policies may limit coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and Frozen goods.

You can sometimes mix fresh food and Frozen food in the same load, but only if your container or vehicle can maintain separate temperature zones. Fresh produce typically needs temperatures above freezing, while frozen food must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires strict temperature control and appropriate packaging to maintain product integrity during air transport. It is essential to use insulated containers and refrigerants to ensure products remain within safe temperature ranges throughout the transit process.
