For Packaged food with medium fragility and mixed Snacks and beverages, insurance providers typically recommend All-risk cargo insurance that includes damage from moisture and breakage.

It is important to ensure that the cargo is stowed in a temperature-controlled environment if required, as well as protected from moisture and contamination.
