🌡 Temperature Tracking Guide for Cold Chain Freight 🌡 Effective temperature tracking is crucial for maintaining the quality and safety of temperature-sensitive goods during transport. Here's a guide to help you manage cold chain logistics for various commodities: Perishable Foods 🍓 Fresh fruits and vegetables: 32°F to 39°F Berries, leafy greens, and stone fruits are particularly sensitive and should be kept at the lower end of this range. 🥛Dairy products: 32°F to 39°F Milk, yogurt, and cheese require consistent temperatures to prevent spoilage. 🥩 Meat and poultry: 30°F to 39°F Fresh meat should be kept as close to freezing as possible without actually freezing. 🐟 Seafood: 30°F to 36°F Fish and shellfish are highly perishable and require strict temperature control. 🧊 Frozen foods: 0°F or below This includes frozen vegetables, meats, and prepared meals. Pharmaceuticals 💊 Most medications: 36°F to 46°F This range is critical for many vaccines, insulin, and other temperature-sensitive drugs. 💉 Frozen pharmaceuticals: -4°F or below Some vaccines and biological products require ultra-low temperatures. Floral Products 🌷 Cut flowers: 32°F to 39°F Maintaining proper humidity is also crucial for floral shipments. By following these guidelines and maintaining strict temperature control, you can ensure the quality and safety of your cold chain freight throughout the transportation process. Remember that different commodities may have specific requirements, so always consult industry regulations and product specifications for the most accurate temperature ranges.
