How can you meet the requirements for Food Safety and HACCP compliance?

The storage of food under the correct conditions, whether hot or cold, is vital to the health and safety of the consumers and its importance cannot be underestimated. There is also a significant financial penalty in terms of product loss and waste if storage conditions are not suitable.

The staff might be unaware of the problem but the consumer would then be at considerable risk. Any probability can be minimised by employing a suitable monitoring solution which can not only provide an alert to the staff of any impending problem or failure but can also provide continuous data logging. 

Consider the implications of a freezer failing overnight, when staff are not present, and the entire content is ruined or even Worse, A freezer having broken down and partly defrosted regains life and refreezes the food.

Retails are never far from the media focus. This is largely due to the magnitude of the repercussions that can arise from even small mistakes, oversights or equipment failures

This type of system can provide not only the means to prevent product loss due to 'spoiling' but can also be used to produce documentary evidence to meet the requirements HACCP Compliance.

The Synapse instrumentation is capable of monitoring many environmental Parameters which may affect the stored goods, for example, Temperature, UV, CO2, formaldehyde, humidity, pressure, oxygen, Light 

According to the Food Safety Control Bureau in Vietnam, there were 295 food poisoning cases reported last year involving 6,953 victims, of whom 65 died. This was an increase from the previous year's figures of 270 cases with 6,700 victims and 41 deaths. Nearly 40 percent of the cases last year were put down to bacteria, while more than 17 percent were the result of chemicals used for food preservation. Natural poisons such as those found in certain mushrooms and fish accounted for another 17 percent.

The list is almost endless and if you have a monitoring requirement not listed above, call us because we will almost always have a solution.
