Protein and seafood demand deep-freeze storage and disciplined handling. Choosing a frozen 3PL is about more than a cold room — it's temperature reliability, compliance, and the ability to move reefer containers off the port.
Temperature and reliability
Frozen storage around −10°F must hold steady, with monitoring and backup power so a compressor hiccup doesn't become a loss. Ask any 3PL how they monitor and protect temperature.
Compliance for regulated goods
Protein often falls under USDA FSIS oversight. A compliant, inspected facility gives you the chain of custody retailers and distributors expect.
From reefer to freezer without a gap
The best setup pulls your reefer container straight from the Ports of Long Beach or Los Angeles into on-site frozen storage — no third-party transfer where the chain could break.
