FOOD SAFETY MONITORING

   

NEW AGE OF FOOD SAFETY HAS ARRIVED!

The DAN FOOD SAFETY SYSTEM automates the collection of your HACCP records! The system has two functions, Firstly, it can be easily connected to any existing (or new) cold storage facility by your own maintenance crew or electrical contractor and secondly, the system facilitates manual data entry for critical control points. All data is routinely transmitted to a data vault where it is evidence of your due diligence. Alarms are sent to personnel when corrective action is required.

Automation of your HACCP records HELPS YOU ENSURE YOUR FOOD IS SAFE TO EAT and HELPS AVOID LOSSES attributable to temperature abuse 

 

Doors being left open and storage temperatures set too low will cause refrigeration equipment to work harder, consume more energy and WASTE YOUR MONEY! Once connected, the DAN system enables you to save money.

FOOD SAFETY

Food Standards Australia[1] requires businesses to prepare and sell food that is safe to eat. Food causes illness because there are high levels of food-poisoning bacteria and these poisons are called toxins. “A way of preventing or limiting bacteria from multiplying or producing toxins in food is to control the temperature of the food by either keeping it cold or very hot”. Food Standards Australia requires potentially hazardous foods to be kept at 5oC or colder and prescribes that it is “safe for food to be between 5oC and 60oC for a limited time only“. Health regulators and inspectors commonly refer to the range between 5oC and 60oC as the DANGER ZONE.

Food safety is becoming increasingly topical in all Australian states and the DAN AUTOMATED FOOD SAFETY MONITORING SYSTEM enables you to take control of your HACCP record-keeping. Based upon the data collected you will be able to make informed judgments on the extent of temperature abuse should it ever occur because you will accurately know the time period over which the temperature abuse occurred.

In addition the DAN AUTOMATED FOOD SAFETY MONITORING SYSTEM saves you even more money by removing the current labour time allocated to manual data collection and record-keeping.

DON’T ALLOW THE REPUTATION OF YOUR COMPANY TO BE AT RISK DUE TO INADEQUATE HACCP RECORD-KEEPING!

DATA – Automated HACCP Records

DAN data is automatically collected and retained as a permanent and independent HACCP record. Repeated tests demonstrate data collected by DAN systems is far more accurate and reliable than can ever be achieved by manual means.

ALARMS

Alarm messages by SMS and email alert you to food safety issues and enable you to take early corrective action. The DAN system also automatically provides a ‘log’ report of all alarms in the format shown below and enables you to review and improve response time to alarm conditions within your organisation.
