PRODUCE COOLING & COLD-CHAIN SUPPORT
Top icing works
with refrigeration.
Sweet corn is commonly packed with ice or top-iced. UC Davis postharvest guidance identifies prompt cooling and continuous, proper refrigeration as essential to maintaining sweet corn quality.
Our agricultural service supplies and applies flake and crushed ice. Your produce handling team sets the cooling plan, suitable packaging, temperature requirements, and trailer airflow arrangements. Top icing supports that plan; refrigerated storage and transport remain part of the process.
