Thanks to loadshedding, the need for reliable refrigeration is more imperative than ever. It ensures that perishable food products are stored and transported at the appropriate temperatures, preserving their freshness, quality, and nutritional value. By inhibiting the growth of spoilage-causing microorganisms and preventing the multiplication of pathogenic bacteria, refrigeration helps reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses. It also contributes to minimizing food waste by extending the shelf life of perishable items.
World Refrigeration Day this week is a great reminder of the crucial role refrigeration plays in ensuring the safety and integrity of the food we produce.
