Check Out if Your Freight Company Has Proper Temperature Monitoring Service

The saying goes- “Health requires healthy food.

However, a common disbelief regarding the frozen food is in the air that says refrigerators can hardly cope up with bacteria or other contamination agents too long.  Well, this is a half truth indeed. As long as, the temperature monitoring system is installed inside a storehouse or the refrigerated transportation, the myth no longer prevails.

Scared? This is why, you need to be very alert while picking the right refrigerated transportation or a cold-chain service.


Here are the factors that you must consider while hiring a cold-chain service company that has a top temperature control monitoring system.

Know the Type of Food to Be Transported ?

Refrigerating food is not always the ultimate solution. You must know your food and their traits. Not every food is prone to be poisonous after some days of refrigeration. Also, the same temperature is not applicable for all types of foods. Hiring any of the right freight companies in Brisbane can take control of the temperature monitoring procedure and let their clients know about the proper temperature to be maintained.

Let’s make a list of foods that needs a thorough monitoring while refrigerated-
  • Milk, card, yogurt, buttermilk, butter (most of the dairy products)
  • Seafood (seaweeds, fish, crabs, etc.)
  • Raw meat
  • Contained food
  • Others (eggs, nuts, resins, chocolates, soy, tofu, etc.)
  • Protein foods
FDA rules and regulations for potentially hazardous food

According to Food Standards Code of Australia, every freight transport company dealing with cold-chain service must put a right temperature for the frozen food storage and transport, especially for the foods that come into the group “potentially hazardous”.  

When you are with a right company that provides you with freight and refrigerated transport in Sunshine Coast and its surrounding, you will find that they follow the minimum temperature of -5 degree Celsius inside the storage or the vehicles that are used  in the cold-chain service.  Food get contaminated because of temperature fluctuation. Make sure that your hired professionals are not dealing with this type of malpractice. If possible, ask the executives before finalising the deal and pay them in advance.

Bottom line:


Knowing your food and its contamination rate may help you choose the right cold-chain service. However, never hesitate to ask about the temperature monitoring as well as time management procedure of your hired company. Right executives will help you in every way.
