As recommended in ‘HACCP and Sanitation
in Restaurants and Food Service Operations: A Practical Guide Based
on the FDA Food Code’


by Lora Arduser, Douglas Robert Brown
Timestrip Case Studies
Food safety is a vital concern as shown by the introduction of the Hazard and Critical Control Point (HACCP) legislation in the European Union.  The introduction of the food legislation has called for caterers and food services to have greater responsibility on food quality, safety and traceability.

Timestrip® smart labels are accurate food freshness indicators that adhere directly to fresh or frozen food packaging for clear, visual monitoring of product shelf life.

Professional Use
: Timestrip® has a range of smart labels especially designed for professional use that are already used in professional kitchens across the
world
. Easier to use and more informative than traditional labels, they form an integral part of the
‘first in-first out’ principle for food storage that is adhered to by all reputable caterers.

• Assist with HACCP compliance
• Help monitor food quality and safety
• Help prevent errors
• Easy to use
• Clear visual guide to food freshness

It’s simple. The inexpensive Timestrip® smart labels allow processors and distributors to track food freshness in transit and in storage, saving the expense and potential health hazard caused by spoiled or wasted food. 

What customers are saying about Timestrip

“Timestrip® is more accurate than human intervention, it takes the
guess-work and human error out of food rotation.”
Ronald Boyer, Otterbein Portage Valley Nursing Home

“On a daily basis, we save 20 minutes in labor time by using Timestrip®.”
John Root, Sonic fast food restaurant, Springville, Uta
 
Tested and approved by the federal
association of food inspectors, BVLK
 
Some Potential Applications

• Fresh fish & Meat – are highly perishable food items which requires extra care to ensure quality is maintained
• Fruit and vegetables –
monitor freshness and help with the first in-first out principle
• Poultry –
bacteria can be found on raw or undercooked chicken that multiplies rapidly at temperatures between 40 °F and 140 °F (can occur out
of refrigeration and before thorough cooking occurs)

• Condiments - e.g. mayonaisse, salad cream, chutney, mustard, tomato sauce or brown sauce all have use within dates while a dynamic date can ensure these are used at their best and reduce waste

Timestrip® smart labels are especially useful for food items at high risk to bacteria growth such as fresh fish, meat, poultry and dairy produce.  For
added security Timestrip smart labels accelerate when out of the set temperature parameters to provide accurate food freshness information.
