Helping Latin American Food Brands Succeed in the U.S. 

Multicultural food logistics encompasses the import, storage, and distribution of diverse international food products—from shelf-stable sauces and spices to refrigerated or frozen goods that require specialized care. It integrates food-grade warehousing, temperature-controlled transport, customs management, and compliance with U.S. safety standards such as SQF and FSMA.
 
Unlike general logistics, multicultural food logistics accounts for both regulatory and cultural differences—ensuring authenticity while maintaining traceability and freshness from origin to consumer.
 
Source supports imported products across refrigerated, frozen, and ambient profiles backed by bilingual teams, compliance guidance, and secure chain-of-custody through customs and across the border.
