Agency highlights the importance of pallet cleanliness ORLANDO, Fla. - iGPS Logistics, North America’s only Pooler of 48x40 plastic pallets, today applauded the US Food and Drug Administration’s issuance of its final rule on sanitary food transport.  Issued pursuant to the Food Safety Modernization Act passed by Congress in 2010, the rule requires shippers, loaders, carriers and receivers involved in transporting human and animal food to use sanitary practices to ensure the safety of that food. “Americans have every right to expect their food to be safe from contamination,” said Jeff Liebesman, CEO of iGPS. “The FDA’s action is an important step toward fulfilling that expectation.” “We especially are pleased that the FDA has recognized the importance of utilizing pallets that are free of contamination – an area in which our all-plastic pallet excels.  Our platform is non-absorptive, easily cleaned and free of jagged edges, which are marked advantages over wood.  Further, our platform is the world’s only multi-use pallet to receive NSF Food Equipment Certification. “We look forward to continuing to work with our partners in the food supply chain as they implement the FDA’s rule.  Like our partners, iGPS is committed to delivering safe and sanitary food to America’s tables.”
