Brand
Food storage, transport and serving equipment, family-owned since 1951.
In the kitchen
Cambro is the global standard for insulated meal distribution in healthcare. From patient tray-line to ward delivery, the StoreSafe, Camtherm, Camcarrier and Heatwave pellet systems hold hot food above +65 °C and cold food below +5 °C across long delivery runs — without electricity, without active heating, and without the temperature-abuse window that puts patients at risk.
Tray line
Powered retherm cabinets that bring cold-plated trays back to safe serving temperature on the ward — no kitchen reheat, no holding gap.
Transport
Top-loaders and front-loaders rated to hold +/-4 °C of starting temperature for up to 4 hours — passive insulation, no power required.
About Cambro
Cambro was founded in Los Angeles in 1951 by the Campbell family, and the name joins Campbell and Brothers. Its first product was the Camtray, a meal tray made for hospitals. It is still family-owned, with production in the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
The range follows food from delivery to the table: food storage containers and shelving, food pans, insulated carriers that hold temperature for hours, dish and glass racks, trays and buffet ware. Most of Cambro's food contact items are NSF-listed.
Worth knowing
Hold temperature
Insulated carriers and transporters keep hot food hot and cold food cold between kitchen and service.
Store it safely
Clear, graduated storage containers and colour-coded lids make stock rotation and labelling simple.
NSF-listed
Cambro says most of its food contact items are NSF-listed for commercial use.
From kitchen to ward
Meal delivery systems for hospitals, care homes and correctional kitchens.
Polycarbonate Dinnerware

Hot-hold
Pre-heated pellet bases that slot under the patient plate and hold above 65 °C through tray-line, transport and bedside service.
Storage
Dissolvable, day-of-the-week food rotation labels — built so every prepped container in the kitchen carries an unambiguous use-by record.
The Cambro meal-distribution range is specified against the temperature-control and hygiene rules that govern South African foodservice — including catering operations inside hospitals and aged-care facilities.
Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectants Act 54 of 1972 — R638 (2018)
The General Hygiene Requirements for Food Premises and the Transport of Food (Regulation R638, gazetted 22 June 2018) governs every food business in South Africa. Among other things it requires a valid Certificate of Acceptability per premises, separation of raw and ready-to-eat food, and documented temperature control from receipt through to service.
Temperature control — the danger zone
HACCP & SANS 10330
Most provincial Departments of Health require healthcare-catering contractors to operate to a documented HACCP plan aligned with SANS 10330 (Requirements for a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point system). Cambro StoreSafe labels, calibrated thermometers and Camtherm/Camcarrier delivery temperatures support the CCP records auditors look for.
