FAQs About Our Cold Chain Solutions
What is the temperature danger zone for transporting seafood?
The danger zone for seafood ranges between 4℃ and 60℃. Frozen fish should be kept at -18℃ or below, while fresh fish should be kept at 0℃ or below to prevent bacteria and spoilage.
What are the rules for seafood transportation safety to prevent contamination?
Here are a few rules of thumb we follow to prevent contamination during seafood transportation:
- Keeping seafood at optimal temperatures throughout the transportation process.
- Ensuring vehicle cleanliness to prevent cross-contamination.
- Minimising exposure to changing temperatures during collection and delivery.
- Monitoring temperatures during transit to ensure safe, consistent temperatures and prevent spoilage.
How long can seafood last safely without refrigeration?
Perishable food items like seafood, meat and dairy products should not be left out of refrigeration for more than two hours. Seafood kept outside prescribed temperatures is at risk of developing harmful bacteria and may cause serious health issues.
If you’re unable to refrigerate your shipment after delivery, you may arrange for cold storage at one of our on-site facilities in Aberdeen, Glasgow or Leeds.
Can I get updates on my shipments during transportation?
Yes, our vehicles are equipped with GPS and real-time tracking, allowing us to provide our customers with updates. You’ll also receive electronic proof of delivery for your records through our EPOD system.
