Cracking The Time / Temperature Nut

- March 6, 2010

These food products are considered the mostly highly sensitive to time and temperature that has a direct impact on their food safety.
- Milk and dairy products
- Eggs (except those treated to eliminate microorganisms)
- Meat (beef, pork and lamb)
- Poultry
- Fish and shellfish
- Baked Potatoes
- Heat-treated plant foods (rice, beans, and vegetables)
- Tofu and other soy proteins
- Sprouts and sprout seeds
- Sliced melons and cut tomatoes
Monitoring time and temperature, after the fact, is simply not good enough for those truly concerned about food safety. A demand for secure, controlled temperature for transport and distribution of these sensitive foods has been triggered by even more changes in the 2010 marketplace.
Confidence In What You Are Buying and Selling

We're not sure there is a more timely or overwhelming topic for our sector then food safety and social responsibility. In fact, at the recent Seafood Choices Sustainability Summit in Paris, it was screaming clear that institutional buyers and their consumers are asking hard questions about the entire life cycle of the product. Sitting next to Andrew Furner of Trace Register, we watched buyers repeatedly address their strategic plans. It was clear they were mobilizing with policies that were no longer a one-issue solution. They were developing comprehensive solutions that were data driven. I was curious to know what Trace Register brought to the marketplace to meet an ever growing list of must have's. Here is a Q/A with Andrew Furner, VP of Trace Register and an international tracing solutions company.

Tanana Valley Meats Ships Using TEDSBox

Tanana Valley Meat Ships Alaska Grown Meat to Grocery Store in Haines Using TEDSBox

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Anchorage, AK)
Division of Agriculture -
On January 19th Tanana Valley Meats (TVM) shipped four sides of Alaska Grown (AKG) beef and pork, using a temperature controlled container (TEDSBox), to Haines. Due to limited shipping options, Alaska Meat & Grocery (AMG) had never before purchased local meat. With the availability of the TEDSBox, they were able to purchase fresh local meat for their consumers, a rarity in the southeast.
Most consumer goods arrive via Juneau from the Lower 48 and few – if any perishable AKG goods are shipped to Southeast Alaska. Demand in Southeast for local product is high, but limited because refrigerated trucks do not travel south from the agricultural production areas of the state. Having local meat with no hormones or antibiotics, when previously only outside meat was available, was a treat for Haines residents.
The Division of Agriculture assisted in the shipment, making connections between AMG & TVM, and finding a company who ships to Haines. TEDSBox loaded the meat in their temperature controlled container, and Ken Hall with Lynden, arranged for shipment of the product to AMG in Haines, AK.
The ability for AMG to meet high demand for local product is a prime example that other remote locations can mimic. Often remote areas desire local products, but have a difficult time obtaining them, especially in a desirable condition. Local demand for AKG and the ability to use the temperature controlled container provided AMG with the ability to meet that demand. We hope other remote locations will mimic this shipment, and join AMG in supporting Alaska Grown.
2nd International Congress on Seafood Technology Comes To Alaska - Spring 2010

The International Congress on Seafood Technology will held in Anchorage, Alaska, May 10 - 13, 2010. The main objective of this Congress is to review the best available knowledge in the main technological fields relating to seafood processing, shelf life extension and distribution. 
Building on the success of the 1st Congress in 2008, the 2010 Congress will address state-of-the-art information regarding the handling, processing, preservation, storage and transportation of seafood. Fisheries and aquaculture, as a food production industry, have been advancing rapidly over the last decades. Fish has a positive health image as food, and is now the most internationally traded protein food product. Significant developments in processing technology have allowed new possibilities for more value-added products, longer shelf life, and more secure distribution of seafood.
