In food processing, every step must be provably monitored without interruption: If it isn’t documented, it doesn’t exist. Reliable measurement technology – for example the data logger testo 175 T1 (fig. left) or the infrared thermometer testo 805 (fig. right) – ensures objective data and simplifies efficient control.

In food production, care is of the essence. Temperature checks in production processes are equally important for quality as the fulfilment of hygiene requirements and the maintenance of defined ambient conditions. Testo measuring instruments such as the one-hand temperature and pH measuring instrument (fig. centre) are precise, ready to use at any time, and simplify monitoring.
According to the UN, the world’s population passed the seven billlion mark on the 31st of October 2011, and there are 83 million people more each year. How can seven million people be fed, when many countries are already suffering from food shortages and high prices? Measurement technology helps to produce safe foods and use precious resources better.

Transport & Supermarkets
Uninterrupted safety from A to B. Testo measuring instruments are accurate helpers in the transport, storage and sale of foodstuffs.
Always ready to go: Ideally, you keep your measuring instruments where they will be used. That way, they are always at the corresponding ambient temperature, and do not require an acclimatization time.

When the customer takes the fresh product out of the refrigerated display, most of the work has already been done. How he stores his food at home is in his own hands from now on. Until then, however, it is in yours. Only impeccable goods may reach the customer. Prescribed temperature limit values must be strictly adhered to. Over the entire cold chain: HACCP concepts allow no leeway. Testo has developed measurement solutions especially for

are oriented towards the conditions in which they are used. Testo data loggers continuously record temperatures in refrigerated and deep-freeze rooms, and additionally monitor the product temperature. All data gathered are completely traceable and are documented in compliance with the law. Our monitoring system testo SaverisTM is particularly innovative. It informs you in real time when limit values are exceeded, wherever you happen to be in the world. We implement individual, customer-specific solutions

In supermarkets, our “little helpers” offer you pocket-sized precision: The accurate Testo thermometers are a lightweight, constant day-to-day companion. With Testo measurement technology for checking incoming goods, you measure reliably even at difficult-to-access places, without contact using infrared, and therefore damage-free.
• Continuous monitoring of the cold chain and documentation of the measurement data • HACCP risk “temperature limit value deviation” safely under control • Individual, customer-specific solutions with the data monitoring system testo SaverisTM
Testo takes work off your hands safely.
A long way: Wherever your goods are, in transport, in storage and in sales, Testo instruments help ensure they arrive fresh and undamaged at their destination. For example the data monitoring system testo SaverisTM (fig. left) or the infrared thermometer testo 826-T1 (fig. right).

Between 14 and 22 percent TPM (Total Polar Materials), cooking oil develops its best potential. Regularly checking the TPM value not only fulfils legal requirements, but also allows the user to benefit from the optimum lifetime of the oil. This increases the quality of the deep-fried goods and saves costs.

The high level of organization in chain restaurants requires measuring instruments which can keep up with the speed of an exactly regulated working day. Data loggers and portable measuring instruments such as the testo 175 T2 (fig. centre) and the testo 104 (fig. right) fulfil international norms and guarantee uniform quality in Hamburg or Düsseldorf, in London or Paris, in Windhoek or Shanghai.

Safety is the most important ingredient. Calibrated measurement technology from Testo makes it possible.
A modern lifestyle requires ever increasing flexibility and mobility. This is one of the reasons why the consumption of foods away from home is increasing. The demands made by restaurant guests regarding variety and freshness are high. The gastronomic trade can only meet these demands with absolute quality and, above all, food safety.

In a kitchen, many raw materials are processed simultaneously, prepared dishes must be kept warm for longer periods, and food service must then be especially quick. With Testo measurement technology such as the handy waterproof mini-thermometer (fig. centre), you always have the temperature under control.
