Safe food all the way.

Measurement technology for the cold chain. Fast, easy & HACCP compliant.

Safe food along the cold chain

Food safety can be measured

Valuable goods deserve the greatest care along the cold chain; starting from temperature control at the food source and during transport, through to quality checks when receiving food supplies, during production, food service and retail.

No matter the measurement parameter - temperature, pH, TPM, humidity, lux - Testo has the right, reliable and certified measurement technology for peace of mind.

Click the various Cold Chain stages below to reveal our recommended technology.

Transport

Transporting fresh food countless kilometres while maintaining the cold chain without interruption is a challenge not only for logistics companies. It's a good thing that there are special transport data loggers that accompany fresh produce and particularly sensitive frozen products on their journeys, and record the temperatures 24/7.

You can find the right measuring instruments for transportation here.

Incoming goods

In incoming goods, the goods must be checked for quality and completeness. With random sample measurement or control of the core temperature, you ensure that only flawless goods are transferred to your responsibility.

Storage

Fresh food can be stored today without any problems. Provided that the prescribed temperature limits are consistently observed. Data loggers are ideal for this step of the food process chain. These measuring solutions reliably record temperature and/or humidity values in storerooms and refrigerated cabinets independently.

Production

Proper heating and temperature of food products is another critical point on the way to safe foods. The appropriate measurement method for this is the measurement of the core temperature.
