Supermarkets, as we all know, have different departments serving a variety of food. Each department has its own set of unique challenges when it comes to maintaining quality, but more importantly, maintaining food safety. Foodborne illness hospitalizes hundreds of thousands of people each year, but this can be reduced through more robust food safety practices.

General Recommendation

When it comes to monitoring grocery temperatures, there are three broad categories that goods fit into. Each one has specific temperature needs. Refrigerated goods are stored between 32℉-40℉(0℃-4.44℃). Frozen goods are stored below 0℉(-17.8℃).

Even dry goods need to be stored at specific temperatures. The temperatures for dry goods might not be as strict as they are for frozen or refrigerated goods. However, they are generally stored in the 50℉-70℉(10℃-21.11℃) range.

The Dangers of Not Monitoring the Temperature

Food in the danger zone is susceptible to bacteria growth. According to the USDA, this range is 40℉–140℉(4℃–60℃). Within this temperature range, bacteria can double in number in just 20 minutes. Keeping certain foods within this temperature range for too long allows foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli to grow.

The Benefits of Monitoring the Temperature

When it comes to food safety, the best way to prevent foodborne illnesses and keep customers safe is prevention. Food in the danger zone is susceptible to bacteria growth, so the best way to prevent bacteria growth is temperature monitoring.

For the meat and fish products, also called frozen food, This data logger temperature logger is very important to keep the growth of microbes as low as possible by maintaining temperature threshold values.

For fruits and vegetables, the most important thing is to prevent them from ripening too early. Fruits, vegetables, and flowers are highly perishable commodities that require proper environmental monitoring in post-harvest processing to maximize freshness, quality, and shelf life from the field to the table.

The environmental condition of temperature-sensitive products must be carefully monitored and documented during handling and storage, to ensure food safety, quality, and longer shelf life, especially for highly perishable products such as produce, dairy, seafood, meat, poultry, and floral product.
