Short answer

Check the product label for storage instructions for unopened and opened packs and the date information. Match lots to the order; record the transport method and packaging condition through shipment. Pass storage instructions to the receiver and segregate damaged or mismatched goods for supplier review.

Do not assume one transport condition for all wet pet food. Label storage and after-opening instructions can vary by product.

Match product name, lot, label conditions and destination to the order. Check and record package integrity and transport method under the site's product acceptance procedure.

Pass the manufacturer's instructions to the receiver. Segregate swollen, leaking, damaged or mismatched packs and record the quality or supplier owner's decision.
