The cold chain of perishable foodstuffs: how best can it be maintained?

La chaîne du froid des produits périssables, comment mieux la respecter ?

Author(s) : BILLIARD F.

Summary

In the introduction, a definition of perishable foodstuffs is given. The risk to chilled and frozen products should the cold chain be broken, are analyzed. An update is given of recent logistic developments. Different cold chain links (production, long-distance transport, storage, distribution storage, distribution transport and retail sale and their most sensible points) are examined. New tools are presented which make possible better management, including: quality-assurance systems, certification of products, vehicles, retail cabinets and refrigerators (taking into account standards) and the temperature-time register.
