The most common way to watch out for such temperature excursions in the cold chain has been through temperature data loggers.
Even if there’s not major physical change to a cold chain product that thawed and refroze, its shelf life could have reduced drastically. Small temperature deviations could have a big impact.
The difference between a mango ice pop and mush is a single degree.įor more valuable cold chain cargo like vaccines or other food items, that single degree could also be the difference between life and death. Let’s dig into what real-time MKT could mean for your cold chain management and how to calculate it accurately.ĭifferent cold chain products have different levels of sensitivity - and tolerance - to temperature fluctuations. Rather, it’s the ‘degree’ and ‘frequency’ of changes in temperature that affect the rate at which cold chain products degrade, and ultimately, spoil.įiguring out whether these variables affected your shipments will tell you when products are damaged and ought to be disposed, but gauging that in real-time could help you prevent that loss to begin with.
A change in temperature doesn’t determine whether cold chain products spoil.
