Food products can be stored in a shipping container only if the unit can maintain the conditions required for those exact foods and the business’s preventive controls. Shelf-stable, sealed goods may be candidates for a clean, dry and monitored container; refrigerated, frozen, exposed or allergen-sensitive foods generally need purpose-designed controls. A standard freight container is not automatically a food-storage facility.
