The need to ensure all chillers and freezers in the premise are performing at their utmost capabilities is critical for all food handling operations. Without constant monitoring and third-party verification, malfunction and inaccurate readings may lead to temperature abuse, eventually result in product spoilages and product recall. Calibration of cold room equipment (including but not limited to: walk-in chiller/freezer, chest and upright chiller/freezer, blast freezer and cold vehicles) is thus essential as it assures accurate measurements which are required for safe and profitable production.
The calibration service could be conducted annually or bi-annually so as to meet the pre-requisites of most licensing requirements as well as the element of any Food Safety Management System implementation.
