How should merchandise requiring refrigeration be stored according to standards?

Merchandise that requires refrigeration must be stored on pallets with specific clearance to ensure proper airflow and temperature control. Storing items on pallets helps prevent moisture accumulation and keeps the products from coming into direct contact with the floor, which could be colder and lead to temperature fluctuations that can adversely affect the quality and safety of refrigerated items. Additionally, following specific clearance guidelines ensures compliance with health and safety regulations, allowing for adequate ventilation and minimizing the risk of contamination. This practice is essential in maintaining the integrity of perishable goods and ensuring they remain within proper temperature ranges during storage.
