# What does Chilled mean in logistics?

Short answer

A temperature range above freezing, typically around 0 °C to +8 °C depending on the product, used to slow spoilage without freezing. The exact set point comes from the product specification.

Covers milk and dairy, fresh meat, many fruits and vegetables and ready-to-eat foods. Some produce, such as bananas, is damaged by temperatures that are too low, so one chilled truck cannot carry every chilled product. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
