Maintaining the cold chain for refrigerated and frozen food is essential so as not to compromise the preservation of the food and, therefore, the consumer's health. Food must be kept at a constant temperature, as any fluctuations in the allowed limits can irreversibly damage the products, even if they subsequently return to the correct temperature.
One of the critical links in this chain is transport. An unsuitable vehicle, poor handling, and negligent loading or unloading of goods can cause a loss of temperature. Methods for the preservation of refrigerated food and frozen food must be strictly applied, and the utmost care must be taken.
The following are the temperature indicators commonly used to control the cold preservation of food during transport:
LCD reversible adhesive temperature indicator. This label changes colour on the basis of the temperature.
Reversible temperature indicator for the...Irreversible-type temperature indicator. These temperature labels are adhesive and can be stuck on any surface or product. They change to permanent colour when reaching the marked temperature.
1-temperature irreversible thermometer...Irreversible time and temperature indicator by color change. This adhesive label alerts you to inappropriate temperature exposure by progressively changing the color of the control points. Each point is calibrated for a specific period of time, thus allowing control of the exposure time at that temperature.
WarmMark Time and Temperature (pack 100...Fresh food, not frozen, requires temperatures that do not exceed 7 °C. This way, microorganisms go into a dormant stage and the enzymes that break down the food slow down their activity.
In this case, a specific vehicle is also required to maintain a stable temperature and airflow that ensures even distribution.
The most significant risk in these cases is the change in temperature depending on the loading area. It would be useless if one part of the compartment was at 7 °C and the rest of it was at 10 °C. Since they are physically stuck to the products, temperature labels can easily alert of the risk and prevent the deterioration of the goods.
