Our Commitment to Food Safety & FDA Compliance

Our FDA-registered facilities are located in close proximity to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The registration process subjected the facilities to extensive reviews that ensure food safety practices in the facilities, supported by each of the food warehousing services.

Required for any facilities that store imported foods, FDA-registration begins with advanced inspections to ensure organization, processing, holding, and all other technical aspects of food warehousing meet food safety standards.

Maintaining the registration requires that FDA-inspectors have uninhibited access to re-evaluate the facilities at any time of their choosing.

This compliance ensures that your grocery warehouse services meet FDA standards. It also ensures that any food stored with Cummins Logistics is handled properly for safety and quality.
