New Zealand Food Safety Solutions
As a food business or an exporter of food and perishable goods, it is important to be aware of Food Safety New Zealand.
What is food safety and why is it important?
Standard 3.2.2 Food Safety Practices and General Requirements outline necessary conditions to comply with to ensure potentially hazardous foods are kept at specified temperatures.
Which foods are potentially hazardous?
- Seafood
- Raw and cooked meat or foods containing meat
- Processed fruits and vegetables
- Cooked rice and pasta
- Foods containing eggs, beans, nuts or other protein-rich foods
- Dairy products, for example, milk
- Sandwiches and/or rolls that contain any of the above
Optimum Freshness Period
Increase Fruit & vegetable Shelf Life
Decay Control
Environment monitoring during transport
Reduce Food Wastage
Product condition monitoring
When must food be kept under temperature control?
Potentially hazardous food must be received, displayed, transported, or stored at either 5 degrees Celsius or colder, or at 60 degrees Celsius or hotter.
If you transport food-related products for human consumption in NZ you need to comply with either the Food Act 2014 or Animal Products Act (under a Risk Management Programme).
If food is not kept under temperature control during the cold chain it could hit the temperature danger zone, which is between 5 degrees Celsius and 60 degrees celsius, this can cause food-poisoning bacteria to multiply and become harmful to consumers.
How can the right temperature control improve the shelf life of fresh produce?
We can help you not only keep your food safe but also improve its shelf life. Temperature monitoring is crucial to shelf-life and it plays a major role in extending shelf-life. Lowering the temperature will extend your fresh produce shelf-life which allows you to extend your products’ expiry date, which results in reduced wastage of your perishable products. If food products experience temperature issues during the export process the shelf life can decrease dramatically. It is important to monitor your perishable goods with our Temperature and Humidity Data Loggers or Real-time Location and Temperature Monitoring Devices to ensure you are providing fresh and safe food to your customers.
