Certified Food Safety Program for the Trucking Industry

Built Specifically for Food Transportation & Logistics Companies

Food transportation is not just freight — it is food safety responsibility in motion.

Iron Apple has developed a Certified Food Safety Program designed exclusively for trucking, logistics, and refrigerated transport companies. This program is customized to your operation, fully implemented by our team, continuously supported, and independently certified each year by an international 3rd party auditing body.

Not a generic HACCP template adapted for trucks, this is a structured, transportation-specific system built around real-world logistics operations.  This program meets HACCP certification requirements and is valid throughout Canada & the United States.  Built on the seven core HACCP principles and prerequisites, preventive controls, Good Transportation Practices, and FSMA Sanitary Transportation requirements.

Why Transportation Companies Need a Structured Food Safety Program

Carriers moving food products across Canada and the United States face increasing scrutiny from:

  • Shippers
  • Importers
  • Processors
  • Retailers
  • Regulatory authorities
  • Insurance providers

Customers expect documented proof of:

  • Sanitation controls
  • Temperature monitoring
  • Trailer inspection procedures
  • Allergen contamination prevention
  • Cross-contamination controls
  • Traceability & load documentation
  • Driver training & accountability

Without a structured, certified program, carriers risk losing contracts, failing audits, or being excluded from approved supplier lists.

Built for Logistics — Not Manufacturing

Most food safety programs are written for processing plants. Transportation requires a completely different risk model.  It reflects how trucking companies actually operate.

Customized to Your Operation

No two carriers operate the same way. We customize your program based on:

  • Reefer vs. dry transport
  • Dedicated vs. contract freight
  • Commodity type
  • Customer requirements

Your documentation, SOPs, training program, and monitoring systems are tailored to your business.

The Business Advantage

Carriers with structured, certified food safety programs:

  • Win larger contracts
  • Pass shipper audits confidently
  • Reduce insurance risk
  • Protect brand reputation
  • Minimize liability exposure
  • Strengthen long-term shipper relationships

Food safety is no longer optional in transportation — it is expected.

If you haul food, your company is part of the safety chain.  The question is whether your documentation proves it.

Having a pre-built Iron Apple compliance program has really made the need to follow the FSMA/CFIA rules simple! They work very closely with us to ensure we are always compliant and the training resources they provide is exceptional.

The Iron Apple platform was very easy to use and is complete with all requirements and more. I started working on the program at the implementation phase but was helped thorough-out and was able to implement the program successfully.

It touches on all aspects of handling the product. From production trickling down to delivery. It’s all-important and plays a role in getting the food to the consumer in the best possible quality.
