Organisations serious about food safety are thinking about more than just placing a temperature data logger on a storage room wall and asking someone in their organisation to write down the temperature twice a day! Experienced managers know that more is required.
Staff record temperatures for food storage normally when they have time to do it. When the area is busy (and there is no time to record temperatures) staff are going in and out of the chilled or frozen storage area, exposing it to outside temperatures and it is at these times that food temperature abuse occurs.
Data Acquisition Networks temperature data loggers not only ‘poll’ every input 19x each second they also report a maximum, a minimum and an average for every reporting period and DAN temperature data loggers keep monitoring 24/7. DAN temperature data loggers send alarms that provide a warning of climbing temperature and can also monitor how often and for how long storage room doors are left open which is a common cause of temperature abuse.
