3PL for 7 Day-a-week Omnichannel Fulfillment: Tech-driven. FDA-registed. ISO-certified.
Food fulfillment runs on dates. Expiration, best-by, and lot codes drive picking, and shipping the wrong one costs you a retail chargeback or a customer complaint. We run FDA-registered facilities with FEFO picking, lot-level traceability, and temperature-controlled space where the product needs it, plus the EDI and pallet compliance grocery and club accounts require.
Everything in food fulfillment traces back to date control. Expiration dates, best-by dates, and lot codes drive picking order, retail acceptance, and recall capability. Ship the wrong date code and you get a retail chargeback or a consumer complaint, and both are avoidable.
Jay Group picks first-expired-first-out by default across FDA-registered facilities, with lot and date capture at receiving carried through every downstream transaction.
The Food Safety Modernization Act shifted the industry from responding to contamination toward preventing it, and traceability requirements reach into distribution. You need to know which lot went where, and you need to know quickly.
Our facilities operate with FSMA-minded handling practices, allergen-aware segregation, and case-level lot tracking. A trace request is a query against Manhattan WMS.
Shelf-stable does not mean condition-indifferent. Heat and humidity degrade packaging integrity, affect texture and flavor, and shorten effective shelf life. We provide temperature- and humidity-controlled space where your product requires it, rather than treating ambient as universal.
Grocery and club accounts are the least forgiving customers in retail. Pallet configuration is specified exactly. Carton labeling must scan first time. ASNs must transmit within a window. Shelf-life minimums at receiving are enforced.
We build pallets to specification, handle retail-ready and shelf-ready packaging in-house, and connect through SPS Commerce for 850, 856, and 810 EDI transactions with Kroger, Costco, Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, and regional grocers.
Food brands increasingly run DTC and Amazon alongside their retail business, and the operational requirements are different. Single-unit picks, protective packing for fragile packaging, and expiration-date-aware allocation so DTC customers do not receive the short-dated stock retail rejected.
One inventory pool across channels means those allocation decisions are yours to make deliberately.
Variety packs, sample boxes, subscription assortments, and promotional bundles are assembled in-house with component lot records preserved through the build.
750,000+ square feet across Lancaster and Mountville, Pennsylvania, Reno, Nevada, and Houston, Texas. FDA registered and climate controlled. Roughly 90% of US consumers within two days, which for food means fresher arrival and lower risk in transit.
