In the food distribution sector, temperature control on receipt of goods is strongly recommended to avoid any health scandals. This control remains mandatory for the transport of frozen products, in accordance with EC regulation n°37/2005. The management of non-conformities and the implementation of corrective actions is also made easier by it. Temperature monitoring guarantees and justifies compliance with the cold chain for transported products to the competent authorities. The food cold chain refers to all the logistical stages during which a perishable foodstuff must be maintained at a specific conservation temperature: production, processing, warehousing/storage, transport and distribution.
So why keep food cold?
The commercial aspect: to slow down the ripening of a product. This has a significant impact on the visual appearance of the food, its color and texture, as well as its taste. Added to this is the management of best-before dates (BBDs). The aim is to offer an optimized customer experience by extending a product's shelf life. Refrigeration guarantees and preserves the visual appearance and taste of a heat-sensitive food product. A perishable product that arrives at the last point of distribution at the right temperature is a commercial guarantee.
The health aspect: to slow down organoleptic deterioration and sweep away the risk of germ and parasite development. The spread of pathogenic micro-organisms is limited and slowed by cold. It also helps to preserve the nutritional value of a product.
