How should I store bulk wooden ice cream sticks to prevent splitting and mold?
Store bulk wooden ice cream sticks sealed in original packaging at 50-65% relative humidity, away from heat and direct sunlight, off the floor and walls, rotating FIFO. This prevents dry-air splitting and mold. Factory moisture is 8-12%; packaging protects sticks until use. Below 40%, sticks lose water and crack fast. Use humidifiers if needed. Pallets 15 cm off the floor, 30 cm from walls; rotate first in, first out. Need a one-page storage sheet for your warehouse team?
