Freight forwarders, carriers, and cold chain operators manage chilled goods transport to move temperature-sensitive products – fresh food, pharmaceuticals, blood derivatives – under continuous refrigeration from origin to destination. Maintained temperatures typically range from 0 °C to +8 °C, achieved through insulated refrigerated vehicles or reefer containers with real-time monitoring. Unbroken temperature records are mandatory and serve as key compliance evidence during food safety and pharmaceutical inspections. For international road transport of foodstuffs, the ATP Agreement establishes binding equipment classifications and temperature requirements. Chilled goods transport is distinct from frozen transport, which requires sustained temperatures at or below −18 °C.
