Frequently Asked Questions
Perishable food items are time—and temperature-sensitive. They must be transported from point A to point B within a given time frame and within their optimal temperature range. They are also susceptible to disease and damage from poor handling practices. This calls for specialised facilities, equipment, transport vehicles, and training.
A variety of food items, both fresh and frozen, need a specific temperature range to maintain their quality. Fruits, vegetables, dairy products, eggs, and meats are prone to temperature changes, so temperature control is required to keep them fresh and maintain their shelf life.
A reefer or refrigerated trailer has a refrigeration unit to maintain a specific temperature. These trailers are designed for cold-chain transport of temperature-sensitive products like perishable food and are equipped with temperature monitoring devices to ensure temperature stability.
The Food Safety Modernization Act is a set of rules and regulations that ensure the safety and security of food from its harvest to eventual use by the end consumer. It sets out standards for everyone involved in the production, storage, and transportation of food regarding proper temperature control, sanitation, pest control, training, and other hygienic measures.
