Port Houston approved for cold treatment
The United States Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has approved Port Houston’s handling of cold treatment cargo.
This gives the leader of the Texas, Houston Ship Channel the ability to receive and manage shipments that underwent the cold treatment process while in transit.
Cold treatment is a process used to mitigate the risks of pests in fresh produce by maintaining the produce at low temperatures for an extended period to ensure that fruit and vegetables are safe for import. The process is usually used to disinfect and protect the commodities while in transit.
