The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) final rule for the Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Food (STF), which became effective on February, 2024 established requirements for shippers, loaders, rail or motor carriers, and receivers involved in transporting human and animal food. The goal of the STF is to prevent transportation practices that create food safety risks, such as failure to properly refrigerate food, inadequate cleaning of vehicles between loads, and failure to properly protect food. 

To help key industry stakeholders stay in compliance with the rule, PLM, in conjunction with the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA), developed the Best Practices Guide. The guide was developed primarily for refrigerated carriers utilizing truck, trailer and multi-temperature means of transporting food. Click the link below to download.
