Food and beverage consumption as well as demand are rising sharply. Because of the wide variety of eating patterns present today, more foreign and frozen foods are consumed.

Food and beverage categories do not share one safe storage range. A proper warehouse assigns stock to dedicated dry, chilled or frozen zones as soon as it is received.
| Category | Recommended Range | What Happens Outside It |
|---|---|---|
| Dry & ambient groceries (grains, snacks, packaged foods) | 10°C–25°C, cool and dry | Heat causes rancidity in fats; excess moisture allows mould growth, caking and pest activity. |
| Chilled foods (dairy, fresh juices, ready-to-eat) | 0°C–4°C | Above 4°C, bacteria multiply rapidly and dairy can spoil within hours. |
| Frozen foods (meat, seafood, vegetables, ready meals) | −18°C or below | Thawing alters texture and consistency and cannot be undone by re-freezing. |
| Beverages (bottled, carbonated, juices) | Approx. 10°C–20°C, away from sunlight | Heat alters flavour, flattens carbonation and can deform or leak packaging. |
| Relative humidity (dry storage) | Approx. 50–60% RH | Higher humidity causes mould and clumping; very low humidity dries and cracks some goods. |
Disciplined, food-grade warehousing prevents the five common causes that damage otherwise saleable stock.
From the manufacturer's gate to the distributor's dock, every consignment moves through a controlled process.
A CFA receives stock from the manufacturer, stores it in a food-grade warehouse, manages inventory batch-wise and expiry-wise, and processes and dispatches orders to distributors and retailers on the company's behalf. Ownership of the goods stays with the company — the CFA operates the storage and distribution leg of the supply chain for a service fee.
There is no single answer — dry and ambient groceries are held at roughly 10°C–25°C in cool, dry conditions; chilled foods like dairy at 0°C–4°C; and frozen foods at −18°C or below. A proper food and beverage warehouse runs separate temperature zones for each category rather than one common ambient space.
Yes. Food storage and transportation are covered activities under FSSAI, so both the warehouse and the vehicles moving food products need to operate under valid FSSAI licensing, along with the hygiene, pest control, and record-keeping practices it requires.
A distributor buys stock from the company and resells it, taking ownership and margin. A CFA never owns the stock — it stores and forwards the company's goods to distributors and retailers against a fee or commission, while the company retains ownership and billing control.
By combining the right temperature zone for each category, humidity control in dry storage, documented pest control and sanitation, segregation from strong-odour and non-food cargo, and strict FIFO/FEFO stock rotation so older and near-expiry batches always move out first.
FIFO (First In, First Out) dispatches the oldest received stock first. FEFO (First Expiry, First Out) dispatches the stock closest to its expiry date first, regardless of when it arrived. FEFO is preferred for food and beverages because shelf life, not arrival date, decides saleability.
Yes, provided the facility operates separate temperature-controlled chambers — ambient/dry storage, chilled chambers at 0°C–4°C, and frozen chambers at −18°C or below — since the categories need very different conditions and should not share the same chamber.
A food-grade warehouse is maintained specifically for storing food safely, with FSSAI-compliant operations, routine sanitation and pest treatment, temperature and moisture control, segregation, and batch-level records supporting traceability and recalls.
Reliable providers log chamber and vehicle temperatures at short, fixed intervals so any deviation is flagged immediately. The same monitoring discipline should cover both warehouse chambers and refrigerated vehicles.
