Abdul Azeez Mullattu

Food must be safe and free from pathogenic germs, therefore food safety is essential. From the transportation and storage of products, the production and preparation of food, right through to the sale – every stage must comply with HACCP guidelines. Testo offers numerous measuring instruments and all-in-one solutions to ensure food quality and safety at all times. These are ideal for recording and documenting the relevant measurement parameters such as temperature, cooking oil quality and humidity as well as for creating measurement reports. Consumers: Protected by food safety measuring instruments: Consumers should be able to rely on the fact that the consumption of food is not harmful to their health but is beneficial to it. Without firm food safety measures in place, it would be more a matter of pure luck if no germs were to cause illness when consuming different foods. Sensitive food types in particular, which require permanent refrigeration and react to even the slightest interruption of the cold chain with spoilage and an explosive increase in germs, would result in complaints from consumers. It is relatively simple to ensure that food and drink are safe.
