In order to ensure food safety, there is therefore an obligation to check the temperatures of foods.Testo offers complete monitoring solutions, thermometers for temperature spot checks, data loggers for ongoing temperature monitoring and oil and pH testers.



Large quantities of different food products are delivered, stored and sold in supermarkets every day. In order for only absolutely unblemished goods to come into the possession of the customer, prescribed temperature limit values for the storage of foods must be adhered to.
Testo offers infrared thermometers for non-contact temperature spot checks of goods and data loggers for monitoring of stored foods.

In the food processing sector, the cold chain has to be constantly checked and verified for compliance during transportation. It is therefore important to monitor the temperature continuously to ensure food safety

More and more foods are covering greater distances on the way from the producer to the consumer. Whether deep-frozen foods or farmed products such as vegetables, fish, meat, dairy products or coffee – customers expect always fresh and quality goods.

The Testo 184 series of cool chain data loggers are designed for the monitoring of food product storage in transport from the farmer to the supermarket customer.

In restaurants and cafes, it is essential to heat up food properly and serve it at the right temperature for safe consumption. As well as temperature spot checks and monitoring storage temperatures, an important part is the quality of your cooking oil and the legal regulations of cooking oil must be observed.

Spent cooking oil has a negative influence on the taste of fried goods, and can lead to stomach pains or digestive complaints. However, replacing cooking oil too soon can lead to unnecessary costs. Know when to change your cooking oil.



Time plays a large part in the monitoring of foods. This requires the use of measuring instruments which either carry out spot measurements or record data over a defined period of time.

Throughout the cold chain, temperature has to be constantly checked and verified for compliance during transportation and storage. It is therefore important to monitor the temperature continuously to ensure food safety. The ambient conditions may also have an influence on product quality. This makes continuous monitoring of temperature and relative humidity in the warehouse essential so your customers will receive goods that are impeccable in terms of both hygiene and quality.
