Food safety is one of the most critical concerns in today’s food supply chain. Consumers, retailers and producers are placing increasing demands not only on timely deliveries – but also on safety, traceability, and accurate temperature control throughout the entire journey from producer to consumer.
Every day, vast amounts of food are transported across the Nordic region. Fresh vegetables, chilled dairy products, frozen fish, and sensitive pharmaceuticals – all require careful handling. Even the slightest deviation in temperature, hygiene or routines can lead to quality issues, food waste, or in the worst cases, risks to health and safety.
That’s why food safety is not just an industry issue – it’s a societal concern. EU regulations, Swedish authority requirements and customer expectations demand a transparent and reliable food logistics chain from end to end.
Rising demands from the market
In recent years, the expectations around food safety have become even stricter:
Tighter regulations: EU directives require detailed control of temperature, hygiene and traceability.
Increased traceability: Consumers and retailers want to follow the journey of their products.
Lower climate impact: Safe transportation must also meet demands for sustainability.
Reducing food waste: Mishandled goods that need to be discarded cause both financial losses and environmental harm.
Meeting these demands takes both resources and flexibility – and this is where Tempcon leads the way. We work with an unbroken cold chain throughout the entire logistics process – from the field or factory to the store and all the way to home delivery.
