It is important to maintain the “cold chain” to ensure the product is kept at the proper
temperatures continuously throughout transport.
In order to protect the product,
temperature control is essential.
Meat must be maintained at an internal temperature of 4 °C or below before being
transported, and trucks should be pre-cooled for at least an hour before loading.
According
to the FSIS Transportation Security Guidelines, during pre-cooling the doors should be
closed and the temperature setting of the unit should be no higher than -3 °C.
The temperature and function of the refrigeration unit should be checked and recorded
every 4 hours.
“Monitor the temperature and function of the refrigeration unit at least every 4 hours. If
there is a unit malfunction, the problem should be corrected by an authorized refrigeration
mechanic before the temperature of the load rises.”
