Food cold chain

Cold chain management tools & Temperature control throughout the cold chain  Reducing food losses and food waste in post harvest/post processing of foods  To minimize perishable foods that are lost before consumption  Post-harvest/processing food losses and waste: about 25% of the food production worldwide  60% the food we consume is chilled  10% the food we consume is frozen The main shelf-life determining post-processing parameter in chilled/frozen food products is temperature

Taking cold chain’s temperature

How weak is the cold chain Which stage is the weakest link What is the impact on food quality and shelf life

A chain is as strong as it’s weakest link

Cold Chain Database development

Cold Chain Data Collection

Data from all stages of the cold chain (from production to consumption) were collected along the supply chain for products in different European regions.

Consortium own data Published data Industry and cold chain parties (distributors, retailers) Associations Research projects

Data collection progress…
