Why You Need a Food Safety Plan (Yes, Even for Your Warehouse)

If you're storing food in the U.S., you're not just a warehouse — you're part of the food supply chain, and that puts you on the FDA's radar.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t process or pack the food — if you touch it, store it, or move it, you need a Food Safety Plan. No plan = noncompliant. It’s that simple.

The FDA wants to see that:

    - You know what can go wrong in your warehouse

    - You’ve got controls in place to prevent problems (like pests, contamination, temperature abuse)

    - You’ve documented everything in case they come knocking

This isn’t just paperwork — it’s what keeps you from getting a citation, shut down, or blacklisted by customers.

We write warehouse food safety plans and know what the FDA looks for, and we know how to keep it lean, clean, and audit-ready.

Don’t wait until you get hit with a 483 or a Warning Letter. Get your plan done now and stay off the radar.
