Food warehousing in Germany

Food needs the right temperature class, documented hygiene and batch traceability from receipt to dispatch. We match your range with partner sites that hold IFS Logistics, HACCP or ISO 9001, including selected sites with several temperature classes from ambient to frozen.

What matters when storing food

01

Temperature class per article, not per company

List which products are ambient, chilled or frozen, and which are sensitive to summer heat, such as chocolate. A mixed range needs either a site with several temperature classes or a split across two sites.

02

First expired, first out

Food leaves the warehouse by best-before date, not by arrival date. The warehouse system has to record batch and date at receipt so that FEFO works and a recall can be traced to each delivery.

03

Hygiene is documented, not assumed

Ask for cleaning plans, the pest-control contract and the most recent audit report. Food should be kept apart from goods with strong odours or chemical residues.

04

Allergens and organic goods need separation

If you store allergen-containing or organic products, say so in the request. Organic storage requires the site itself to be certified.

05

Retail customers set the delivery rules

Supermarket distribution centres work with booked delivery slots, labelling rules and minimum remaining shelf life. The provider should know these processes from other food clients.

Certifications and standards that matter

IFS LogisticsThe standard most German food retailers expect from their suppliers’ logistics partners. Covers storage, handling and transport.
HACCPHazard analysis and critical control points. The basis of every food hygiene concept.
ISO 9001Quality management. Useful as a base, but not a food standard on its own.

BRCGS, organic certification and any other standard: we check per site.

Typical mistakes when choosing a provider

  1. Booking ambient space for products that need cooling in summer. Warehouse halls can exceed 30 °C.
  2. Accepting "food-grade" as a claim. Ask for the certificate and the latest audit report.
  3. Forgetting the remaining shelf life your retail customers demand at delivery. Stock that is too old is rejected at the ramp.
  4. Not agreeing who runs a recall and how quickly batch lists are available.

Frequently asked questions

Which certificates should a food warehouse have?

For deliveries to German retail, IFS Logistics is the usual expectation, with a HACCP concept as the base. Our partner data includes sites with IFS Logistics, HACCP and ISO 9001.

Can chilled and frozen goods be stored at one site?

Yes, at selected partner sites that run several temperature classes, from ambient to frozen. We check which of them fit your range and volumes.

What does FEFO mean?

First expired, first out. Goods with the earliest best-before date are shipped first, which requires batch and date tracking for every pallet.

Can food be stored next to non-food goods?

Often yes, with separation. Goods with strong odours, chemicals or pest risk must be kept apart. We clarify the rules per site.

How do I get offers for food storage?

Start a request with your products, temperature classes and volumes. We get back to you within 24 hours on working days and check suitable partner sites.
