Keep It Cool Before Collection – Why Temperature Matters

For food businesses, keeping products fresh doesn’t just start when the truck arrives it starts long before that. LMC Express can transport goods at the perfect temperature, but if the products aren’t stored correctly before collection, the damage may already be done.

Perishable goods like meat, dairy, seafood, frozen meals, and fresh produce need to be kept at the right temperature from the moment they are made or packed. If they get too warm, bacteria can grow quickly, making the food unsafe to eat. Even a short time outside the safe range can shorten shelf life and affect quality.

When goods are ready for collection, they should already be in cold storage—either refrigerated or frozen, depending on the product. This way, when LMC Express loads the truck, the cold chain remains unbroken. The correct starting temperature is just as important as the temperature during the journey.

LMC Express drivers and refrigerated trucks are prepared to keep goods cold from pick-up to delivery. But it’s a shared responsibility: the supplier must make sure products are kept safe and cold before the journey even begins. This ensures customers receive food that’s fresh, safe, and high-quality—just the way it should be.

Summary:
Keeping goods at the right temperature before LMC Express picks them up is essential. Starting cold ensures the cold chain stays unbroken, protecting freshness, safety, and quality during transport.
