Fresh produce, like other perishable goods such as meat and poultry, are required to be held at consistent temperatures during transport and for delivery. Safely storing and delivering sensitive fruits and vegetables is critical in order to prevent contamination and the growth of harmful bacteria.
Fresh Produce Delivery
Polar King Mobile refrigerated trailers are the ideal solution for transporting fresh produce or other temperature-sensitive products. Each unit is constructed with a 100% seamless fiberglass design that provides a continuous surface, promoting a sanitary environment.

To ensure sanitary conditions, Polar King Mobile refrigeration units feature an antimicrobial gel coat on the interior. This coating is intended to protect surfaces from germs and microbes, while also maintaining interior air quality.
Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) focuses on maintaining food safety that involves transporting produce in refrigerated trailers. The act, under the direction of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), requires vehicles transporting products such as fruits and vegetables to adhere to strict regulatory standards. The goal of the act is to prevent illnesses related to contaminated food.
“FSMA aims to ensure the U.S. food supply is safe by shifting the focus to preventing contamination of the food supply, rather than responding to it.”
Major Elements of FMSA:
- Preventive Controls
- Inspection and Compliance
- Imported Food Safety
- Response
- Enhanced Partnerships
