Non-contact infrared thermometer in food safety quality inspection
Non-contact infrared thermometers are quickly becoming an integral part of HACCP protocols. Many food industry experts are familiar with the food safety inspection program known as HACCP, which is now mandatory for meat, poultry and seafood processing plants, as well as fruit and egg milk processing plants. HACCP will inspect food flowing into and out of temperature danger zones.
The U.S. Food and Safety Administration (FDA) also recommends the use of infrared thermometers as specified in the 1999 Federal Food Regulations, Appendix 4, Section 8, and suggests that the use of infrared thermometers to scan surface temperatures promotes general food safety: “Infrared Thermometers Thermometers record surface temperatures quickly, facilitating general food safety system surveillance by scanning large numbers of temperatures in a short period of time.” Raytek food industry thermometers guarantee maximum temperature accuracy, in such a danger zone, harmful growth is very rapid. The term "hazardous area" is used to describe temperatures above 40°F (4.4°C) and below 140°F (60°C). If potentially hazardous foods such as dairy, shellfish, and meat are held at these temperatures for longer than 4 hours, significant growth can occur in the food. When preventive measures are enforced in health and food safety inspections, food business owners, operators and workers take responsibility for providing food of healthy quality in their daily production, which means maintaining awareness And make sure that the temperature of the food is not within the range of the danger zone.
Simple preventive measures and constant monitoring can help ensure a safe and healthy working and eating environment. Raytek Foodpro series thermometers help you measure food temperature quickly and accurately. With a response time of just 500ms (half a second), the thermometer allows you to get multiple temperature readings in quick succession. For example, you can scan a restaurant's supply lines to ensure that all plates of hot food are at a single serving temperature. The Raytek Foodpro range of thermometers are ideal for measuring organic products, equipped with a better filter detector to more effectively pass through water vapor for measurement, it is suitable for use by food industry professionals. A quick, simple scan with a Raytek Foodpro Series thermometer can find potential problems in an instant, saving time and money.
