The internet of things can extend to the food safety world. First, the internet of things (IoT) is network of computer devises that connect together to transfer data. The data transfer can occur without human intervention. How can that help retail-foodservice food safety? Let’s recap the five major risk factors for foodborne illness as described […]

TTIs are time-temperature integrators. They generally consist of a very specific dye that moves along a path based on both temperature and time. In food safety, they can function as monitors of times and temperatures in instances where temperature dataloggers cannot. The prime example is in consumer packaging. The rapid development of mail order food […]
Here is an example of a fully submersible high temperature datalogger. Because it will function under pressure and at temperatures well above 212F; it can be used for monitoring and verification of high temperature processes such as low acid canning. For example, in low acid canning a retort or pressure canner will get to 10-15 […]
