A conventional fridge thermometer only measures the air temperature, which can be a major problem because cold air is heavier than warm air and therefore "falls out of the fridge" the moment the door is opened.
So why a FoodSafe fridge thermometer?
The alternative is to use the FoodSafe food simulant fridge thermometer which is an encased fridge thermometer that ensures that it indicates temperature similar to that of the food stored in the fridge or chill cabinet. This means that it is not subject to the changes in air temperature that normally occur when the door is opened.
It should be noted that it is the temperature of the food that is important in preventing the growth of food poisoning bacteria.
The easy to read FoodSafe is ideal for domestic or commercial use and it is reliable, robust and hygienic. The thermometer shows temperature over the range of -20 to 40°C with an accuracy of ±0.5°C over the range of -5 to 20°C, 1°C thereafter. The unit has a clear plastic case.
