Question of cold room temperature Cold room USB disposable temperature data logger
The temperature of a negative cold room
The temperature of a negative cold room is below 0 degrees. In most cases, the temperature is around -18°C. However, the temperature can be even lower, down to -40°C (extreme cold). Negative cold rooms are ideal for freezing foodstuffs: the negative cold solidifies the water contained in foodstuffs, without damaging their cells and preserving their nutritional qualities. Negative cold rooms can be found in professional kitchens (caterers, restaurants, etc.), specialist food stores (butchers, fishmongers, etc.), the agri-food industry, the pharmaceutical industry and more.
The temperature of a positive cold room
A positive cold room is a cold room where the temperature is close to 0°C, and usually slightly higher. The reference temperature for this type of chamber is generally between 3°C and 6°C, but this may vary according to use. They are ideal for preserving food products, as they keep them cool and within easy reach. Positive cold rooms can be found in restaurant kitchens, food laboratories (bakeries, butchers, caterers, delicatessens, pastry shops, etc.), supermarkets, drives, medical and hospital environments, and more.
The European Parliament's Regulation (CE) no. 852/2004 of April 29, 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs sets out temperature traceability obligations for operators in the food sector. In particular, Chapter 3 states that: [...] "adequate facilities and/or devices must be provided to maintain foodstuffs under suitable temperature conditions and to monitor them". In this context, regular temperature monitoring is mandatory. Temperatures must be recorded on a sheet or by means of an automatic recording device (connected object). These records must be kept in a sanitary logbook, providing a history of the temperatures recorded.
