Food-Grade Warehousing Standards
Our commitment to safety, cleanliness, and regulatory compliance ensures that food products are stored in an environment meeting the highest standards. Bridgetown’s facilities are licensed as food-grade warehouses and follow FDA regulations and Oregon Department of Agricultural guidelines.

Clients have 24/7 access to real-time inventory data, empowering them with transparency and control.
Compliance and Regulations
Operating as a licensed food-grade warehouse comes with strict requirements. At Bridgetown, we ensure clear marking of food storage areas, use durable, non-absorbent materials for contact surfaces, and keep accurate records of personal hygiene and safety procedures.
