Food Temperature and Humidity Monitoring Solutions
Temperature and humidity have a huge impact on the quality of food and beverages. Monitoring of the entire supply chain is essential for compliance and product quality.
Ensuring food safety through temperature control
During the production, storage and transportation of food products, continuous temperature control is necessary to ensure food safety. This not only ensures the quality of the product, but also protects the health and safety of consumers. Cooked or frozen foods stored and transported outside the recommended temperature range can lead to the growth of bacteria and fungi. In order to comply with legal regulations and maintain products at the desired temperature, temperature deviations during production, storage and transportation must be alarmed and recorded as follows:
- Records and alarms to avoid high or low temperatures or relative humidity. Both conditions are harmful to the product.
- Documents used to analyze and continuously improve production, storage, and transportation processes (e.g., HACCP)
What are the risks of not being able to monitor temperature well during food production, storage and transportation?
- Regularly monitoring the temperature of food during production, storage and transportation is an important step in ensuring food safety and quality, and helps to minimize the occurrence of the risks described below.
Food Safety Risks
Temperature control of food is an important measure to prevent bacterial growth and food spoilage. If the temperature of food is not monitored and controlled during production, storage or transportation, bacteria may grow, leading to food deterioration, cross-contamination of pathogenic bacteria, etc. and increasing the risk of food poisoning.
Food Quality Risks
Changes in temperature affect the taste, color, flavor and nutritional value of food. Failure to check the storage and transportation temperatures of food products may lead to a decline in food quality, even affecting the taste experience of consumers and reducing the competitiveness of the food products in the market.
Legal Compliance Risk
In many countries and regions, the monitoring of temperature during food production, storage and transportation is a legal requirement. If a food business does not comply with these regulations, it may face fines, product recalls, reputational damage, and even warnings or closure by regulatory authorities.
Loss and Waste Risk
Failure to check temperature may result in overheating or overfreezing of food during production and storage, causing damage or deterioration of some food products and increasing the risk of loss and food waste.
How to store food correctly according to DIN 10508
The perishable nature of foodstuffs depends to a large extent on the temperatures at which they are handled, stored and transported, and the DIN 10508 standard defines the ideal temperature range for the storage of various foodstuffs:
- -18°C: Frozen food, frozen poultry, frozen egg products, pre-packaged ice cream
- -12°C: Frozen food, frozen meat, frozen egg products
- -10°C: Ice cream in portions
- +2 to 8°C: Milk, fresh meat, poultry, game, stringy meats, eggs and egg products, chopped salads and fruits, stuffed baked goods
- +10°C: ready-to-eat food, live mussels
- +15°C: Most other packaged foods and breads are best stored in a cool, dry place away from light.
- +65°C: Hot ready-to-eat
Fresh vegetables, whole fruits and cut fruits require different storage temperatures. Storing food correctly not only complies with all regulations, but also allows for optimal results during the shelf life of the food. Food temperature and humidity monitoring solutions.
Equipment Monitoring
Use professional temperature monitoring equipment, such as high quality temperature recorders, to regularly monitor and calibrate refrigeration equipment, heating equipment, ovens, etc. in food production.
Environmental Monitoring
Continuously monitor the temperature in the production environment, including production workshops, storage rooms, cold storages, etc., to ensure that the ambient temperature complies with food safety and quality standards. Establish a comprehensive monitoring system.
Temperature monitoring of ingredients
Monitor the temperature of ingredients during the food production process. Ensure that the temperature of raw materials and semi-finished products during the production process meets the requirements to avoid bacterial growth and food spoilage.
Cold Chain Management
Strict temperature control in the cold chain during food storage and transportation. Temperature recorders are used to monitor the temperature of refrigerated vehicles, cold stores and freezing equipment to ensure that food products are kept at a suitable temperature throughout the supply chain.
Temperature Verification
Conduct regular temperature distribution verification of equipment, warehouses, storage rooms, etc. to ensure that they have good temperature control performance.
Temperature alarm system
A temperature alarm system is installed to provide timely warning when the temperature exceeds the safe range. This allows for timely detection of problems and the adoption of measures to avoid food damage and safety issues.
