  1. Refrigeration: The essential Cooling for a safe food supply chain Christine Weiker Secretary General European Cold Storage and Logistics Association - ECSLA

  2. Title Text

  3. The food supply chain

  4. Increased Globalisation • the food supply routes are increasingly long-distance and multi-modal • presenting challenges to maintaining optimal temperature control during • storage • handling • distribution • across a wide range of different temperature ranges according to the products specifications

  5. Temperature Controlled Conditions • fruit and vegetables • meats and fish products • milk and dairy products • readymade dishes, finished convenience food • frozen food like ice-cream or frozen pizza • Flowers and pharmaceuticals

  6. Title • Point 1 • Point 2 • Point 3 • Point 4

  7. Temperature Controlled Logistics • These products are stored in different temperature ranges from roughly -25°C to +25°C according to product specifications in • Ambient • Chilled • Frozen • And all required ranges in between - areas of the temperature controlled warehouse

  8. Temperature Controlled Logistics • From the cold store the goods are then transported with refrigerated transporter to a distribution centre or directly to the retail facility / supermarket • E-commerce and now players like Amazon Fresh present new challenges for temperature controlled logistics

  9. Temperature Controlled Logistics • All chilled and frozen food as well as temperature-controlled pharmaceutical products are stored in a cold store at least once during their journey from production to the consumer

  10. Temperature Control along the supply chain • Has a major impact on the quality and safety of food and pharma products • Maintaining a consistent optimal temperature throughout the food supply chain extends shelf life, enhances food safety and prevents food waste • In the pharma cold chain, reliable temperature control becomes ever more critical to provide safe products

  11. Temperature Controlled Logistics • ECSLA Member companies are a crucial link in the food supply chain connecting • producers and processing companies with • retailers and • ultimately with the consumer
