Foodstuffs | DB Schenker

Clear routines for smooth transportations

Food safety is a concern to all of us. DB Schenker plays an active role in assuring smooth transportations and handling of foodstuff – from the producer to the end consumers.

DB Schenker has defined clear working procedures implemented throughout the land transport network. All foodstuff and related goods such as packaging material need to be tagged with a special label as this is a precondition to ensure food safety.

Integrated part of quality management system

Further elements, among others, are an HACCP system (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) as well as hygienic instructions for staff who gets into contact with food and food related cargo. Food safety is also an integral element of the quality management system of DB Schenker Land Transport.

DB Schenker operates according to the legal requirements regarding foodstuff, especially EU regulation (EC) 852, but also considers national law and regulations.

Short-term warehousing

6/10

The Coronavirus pandemic has hit global supply chains with full force. Due to changing consumer behavior, stranded shipping containers are piling up in seaports with goods that can no longer be sold due to changing consumer behavior. In addition, growing consumer demand for certain goods, for example in the food or health sector, has led to an increase in production. This has two consequences: Currently unsaleable items need to be stored temporarily and companies are having to build up safety stocks to avoid interruptions in supply.
