Cold chain logistics plays a key role in ensuring the quality of China’s frozen food exports. The following are the main safeguards:
- Full-process temperature control management
Source pre-cooling treatment: Use rapid freezing technology in the food processing link to ensure that the product center temperature quickly drops to safety standards
Constant temperature storage system: Modern cold storage equipped with automatic temperature monitoring, temperature fluctuations are controlled within ±1°C
Transport process monitoring: Refrigerated containers are equipped with GPS and real-time temperature recording systems to achieve full-process visual tracking
- Standardization system construction
Strictly implement international food safety management systems such as HACCP and ISO22000
Comply with the cold chain standards of major importing countries such as the European Union, the United States, and Japan
Establish a full-process cold chain operating specification (SOP) from production to consumption
- Technology innovation application
Use cold storage Box, phase change materials and other new insulation technologies
Application of blockchain technology to ensure that supply chain data cannot be tampered with
Use IoT sensors to realize automatic alarm for abnormal temperature
IV. Cross-border logistics solutions
Develop the “sea + air” multimodal transport model to reduce transportation costs
Establish overseas cold chain warehouses in major export markets to shorten the last mile of delivery
Establish strategic cooperation with cold chain service providers in the destination country to ensure the quality of terminal delivery
V. Quality traceability and risk management
Establish a full-chain product traceability system to achieve “one item, one code”
Develop emergency plans to deal with emergencies such as equipment failures
Perform cold chain verification tests regularly to ensure system reliability
Through the above measures, China’s cold chain logistics can effectively maintain the quality stability of frozen food during the export process, meet the strict requirements of the international market for food safety and quality, and enhance the international competitiveness of “Made in China” food.
