Food safety and data-logging
concerns addressed
 Adherence to food safety and due
diligence procedures has become a
fundamental part of every professional
caterer's and food retailer's working life.
A recent report produced by Adande
Refrigeration, based on visits to its
website, confirms that data-logging is a
burning issue for those in the industry.
It is clear that data-logging is a major
concern. Over 30% of visitors to the
Adande web site head directly for the
data-logging page, generating the same
level of interest as energy efficiency and
operational benefits.
Effective monitoring
and recording of
information is central to
the internationally
accepted HACCP 7
system, which acts as a
preventative approach to
food safety. Regulations
state that businesses must
record the temperature
of all cold storage units
and maintain records for
many years.
VariCool's groundbreaking data-logging
system automatically records the temperatures
within each of its four drawers, as regularly as
the user requires, and can store information for
up to 12 months. This data is easily
downloaded, either locally or via the Internet,
and printed for due diligence and food safety
records, or emailed directly to a head office or
third party.
Speculation within the food and catering
industry suggests that over the next few years the Food Standards Agency (FSA) will
introduce regulations by which all chilled
storage temperatures must be automatically
recorded. The Adande VariCool is unique in
the comprehensive way in which it currently
delivers this peace of mind.
 VariCool's innovative system enables a
business to monitor the overall efficiency and
performance of the unit. Indication of any
fault can be sent electronically, so that
engineers can be called out armed with the
correct part to fix the problem, saving both
time and money.
The FSA states that raw and cooked ready-to-eat food is to be kept
apart at all times and
recommends separate
storage units for these
goods to prevent cross
contamination. The
VariCool, with
independently cooled
drawers, self-contained
air circulation and full
insulation, allows all
foods to be stored in the
same unit without any
risk of airborne cross contamination by
bacteria or odour.
The setting and stability of temperatures
with the Adande VariCool maximises the life
and quality of foodstuffs, and the ability to
alter the temperatures in the drawers means
that products can be kept at their optimum
temperature, preventing bacterial growth and
multiplication.
Little wonder then that this box of tricks
is hitting all the right notes with caterers.
