What does the term food logistics mean?

Food logistics encompasses all processes related to the transport and storage of food products. The range of available food items continues to expand, and with that, so does the complexity of logistics processes. Warehouse management and compliance with cold chain requirements play a particularly crucial role. Meanwhile, digitalization continues to progress.

A classification of food items based on key parameters is also important:

• Cooling requirements
• Occasion of consumption
• Origin and processing methods
• Ingredients, including the source of all raw materials used
