Moving Fresh food successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain.

Yes, frozen goods can Usually be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines impose limits on how much dry ice is allowed per package and per shipment, and labels must show the net weight of dry ice and UN1845 markings.

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

Always check requirements for each item and specify the target range on booking instructions and labels so your Reefer cargo is set correctly.
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. Chilled food typically needs temperatures above freezing, while Frozen goods must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, We recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
When shipping fresh and frozen food, it is essential to maintain appropriate temperature controls throughout the journey. This includes using refrigerated containers for chilled items and ensuring proper insulation for frozen products to prevent thawing. Additionally, cargo should be loaded and unloaded quickly to minimize exposure to ambient temperatures.
