Shelf-Stable Food & Beverage Fulfillment in an AIB-Inspected Warehouse
Selling food and beverage online means your fulfillment partner is part of your food-safety chain — not just a warehouse that ships boxes. TFC has handled shelf-stable food and beverage brands since 1984 from an AIB-inspected, FDA-registered facility in Cheshire, Connecticut, with the lot tracking and rotation practices these categories demand.
Food-Grade Warehousing You Can Stand Behind
Our 50,000-square-foot warehouse holds the AIB International Consolidated Standards for Food Distribution Centers certification and is registered with the FDA. Your product is stored and shipped in a facility built around recognized food-safety and sanitation standards — pest control, sanitation schedules, and handling protocols that protect your brand and keep you compliant with your own retail and marketplace requirements.
Lot Tracking, FIFO & Expiration Date Management
Food and beverage inventory isn’t interchangeable — a case that expires in three months can’t ship the same way as one that expires in eighteen. We track inventory by lot and rotate stock first-in, first-out (FIFO) so older product ships first and nothing quietly ages out on the shelf. If you ever need to trace or recall a specific lot, we can tell you exactly where it went.
What AIB Inspection Means for Your Brand
AIB inspection isn’t a logo you buy — it’s a rigorous audit of the facility’s food-safety practices against a detailed standard. For your brand, working out of an AIB-inspected warehouse means fewer questions from retailers and marketplaces about how your product is handled, and a documented answer when a buyer or auditor asks where your inventory is stored. It’s the difference between “trust us” and “here’s our certification.”
Categories We Fulfill
We handle a wide range of shelf-stable products — snacks, dry goods, coffee and tea, supplements, sauces and condiments, and shelf-stable beverages — whether you sell direct-to-consumer, wholesale to retail, or through marketplaces like Amazon and Faire. Not sure your product fits? Ask. After 40 years, we’ve handled most of it.
