FAQ´s

In Panama, food-grade certification means a facility complies with the safety and sanitation standards required to store consumable goods, including documented sanitation programs, temperature control, pest management, allergen separation and traceability. The reference framework is AUPSA (Autoridad Panameña de Seguridad de Alimentos), which enforces sanitary import controls, plus international standards like GFSI, SQF and HACCP that LATAM buyers expect from a regional food grade warehouse in Panama.

 We operate ambient, refrigerated and frozen zones within the ranges required for packaged and perishable food. Refrigerated rooms hold dairy, fresh produce and packaged perishables at controlled cool temperatures, while sub-zero zones serve frozen seafood, meat, ice cream and ready meals. All zones are monitored 24/7 with automatic alerts and backup power, and the data trail is kept ready for AUPSA inspections. 

Yes. Our food grade warehouse in Panama includes designated clean zones and allergen-separation protocols, so products containing common allergens (nuts, gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, shellfish) are stored apart and handled with dedicated equipment when needed. Cleaning schedules, staff training and SOPs are designed to minimize cross-contamination, in line with GFSI expectations and AUPSA sanitation requirements.

Yes. Our operations follow AUPSA sanitary import rules and DGA customs procedures, with the documentation, registration and inspection-readiness required to clear food cargo at Panamanian ports of entry. For goods destined for regional re-export, we also operate inside the Zona Libre de Colón, where food products can be stored, repacked and re-exported across LATAM and the Caribbean without entering Panamanian commerce.

 We maintain documented sanitation schedules, third-party pest control programs, and regular internal and external audits. Pest control is integrated with the facility’s hygiene plan, includes monitoring stations across the perimeter and food zones, and is reported in audit logs that AUPSA inspectors and your QA team can review at any time. 

 Yes. We support organic, kosher, halal and other specialty food items with dedicated SKU-level traceability, segregated storage where required, and documentation suitable for AUPSA and certifying bodies. Our Panama food grade warehouse is set up for repackaging and re-labeling of specialty SKUs bound for LATAM and Caribbean retailers through the Zona Libre de Colón.
