Keeping it cold: Overcoming cold chain distribution challenges

“Vital Essentials is very intentional when it comes to controlling the cold chain and maintaining quality,” said Brian Lakari, vice president of operations, Carnivore Meat. “Our cold chain distribution process includes four main points of control: vendor processing, transportation, storage and our internal manufacturing. Cold food products are harvested and processed in USDA facilities having temperature controls capable of maintaining the required product temperature throughout the facility. The care we take shows in the finished products we provide to pet parents all over the world.”
