2. KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER
“Our suppliers are dispatching frozen food products as per FSSAI norms and third party logistics
is transporting the same to our Safal Warehouse. But during unloading, we face a lot of
fluctuation in product temperature. We wish to know the reasons for these fluctuations.”
“Temperature is measured from top and bottom end of each row using a calibrated
thermometer probe. The fluctuations in temperature recorded may drivers fault.”
“If we are given frozen food products at -18oC, we can easily maintain it at -18oC.”
“We are loading our product as per FSSAI norms. The data logger of vehicles which we use
also proves the same.”
“FSSAI regulations are becoming strict with time. The temperature fluctuations may reduce
shelf life of frozen products due to organic activities”

SECONDRY DATA OBSERVATION
PRACTICE OF MEASURING TEMPERATURE DURING LOADING/UNLOADING
Mother Dairy F&V needs to REVISE SOPs for temperature measurement
• While loading measure temperature at
BLACK DOTS as per Figure 1.
• While unloading measure temperature at
BLACK DOTS as per Figure 2.
Maximum temperature deviation allowed is 2oC
i.e. -16oC is accepted near doors.
Figure 1 Figure 2
Courtesy: ATP*
DURING LOADING
Temperature is measured INSIDE COLD STORAGE
OR
Measured immediately after carrying HDPE bags from cold storage
inside truck
The Practice will NOT CAPTURE ACTUAL TEMPERATURE as it takes
2-3 hrs. FOR LOADING VEHICLE which leads to temperature rise.
DURING UNLOADING
Temperature before unloading is measured by calibrated
thermometer using needle probe.
BUT
As doors are opened WHILE UNLOADING, TEMPERATURE KEEPS
ON RISING as it is measured.
Both during loading & unloading,
REFRIGERATION UNIT IS KEPT SWITCHED OFF.

PRE LOADING CHECKLIST
VISIBLE INSPECTION AND PULL DOWN TEST for body needs to be carried out before loading.
TIME FOR LOADING/UNLOADING NEEDS TO BE AS SMALL as possible.
In an experimentation with
sweet corn vendor, we tried pre
cooling to -18oC in an empty
container but after 4hrs
temperature stabilized at -14oC
and cannot be reduced further.
MOISTURE NEAR
DOOR GASKETS
“Conduct a pull down test in
an empty container to -18oC.
It will take 2 to 2.5 hrs for a
good Reefer Box to reach -
18oC. If it is not able to reach
-18oC, it means the body has
air infiltration and will not
be able to maintain -18oC.”

“I.R.B.s are not meant for
reducing temperature. If
product temperature is
received at -18oC, it can
easily maintain it”

PRE TRIP PROCEDURES
Mother Dairy standard SOP recommends pre-cooling to -10oC to -12oC. Survey result shows that
MOTHER DAIRY SOP IS NOT BEING RIGROUSLY FOLLOWED
Further pre-cooling to -10oC to -12oC does not test capability of I.R.B. in maintaining -18o C temperature
PRE COOLING TO -18oC IS NECESSARY
During Pre cooling, leakages can be checked by
OBSERVING DEW DROPS ON DOOR SEALS

• Check coolant levels.
• Check entire unit for leaks.

25. MITIGATION PLAN
SHORT TERM
1. Palletization of HDPE bags inside the cold storage area at -18oC. As the vehicle docks at
loading bay, the pallets should be loaded as fast as possible. It should be unloaded in the
similar manner. It will also resolve air circulation problem.
2. Take 3 sample near the door. If it is found -16oC or below, the food product should be
unloaded otherwise the food product should be blast cooled.
3. During loading, 4 sample HDPE bags should be marked and its temperature should be
measured inside cold storage. During unloading, the same HDPE bags temperature should be
measured.
4. Air Leakages of I.R.B. should be checked regularly by Dew Test by looking for dew drops near
door seals when Refrigerated unit is running
LONG TERM
1. Live Temperature Data Logger Monitoring Systems are required for monitoring Reefer Tucks.
2. Regular Pull Down and Temperature Hold Test needs to be done for checking suitability for -18oC.
3. Pre cooling Refrigerated Vehicle to -18oC.
4. Additional Temperature Data Logger to be installed at doors. I will put a check on air circulation problem.
5. Industry needs to standardize regulations for manufacturing I.R.B.
6. I.R.B needs to be rated as per end temperature use.
