Good storage practice in refrigerated logistics covers all procedures for the proper storage of perishable goods in controlled environments. Key elements include maintaining stable temperatures (typically between –18 °C and +4 °C depending on product type), regular equipment monitoring and maintenance, FIFO (First In, First Out) rotation to prevent spoilage, appropriate packaging and storage labeling, and staff training. Complete documentation of storage conditions ensures traceability and enables root cause analysis in case of quality issues. Hygiene and sanitation measures prevent contamination and pest infestation.
