HACCP & Temperature Monitoring for Food Safety in the GCC
HACCP & Temperature Monitoring for Food Safety in the GCC
What HACCP expects
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) hinges on monitoring and recording temperatures at critical control points — receiving, cold storage, transport and cold display. If you cannot show a recorded temperature, you cannot prove control.
Where temperature data loggers fit
**Receiving** — a PDF logger record proves inbound goods were in range before acceptance
**Cold chain transport** — a logger attached to each pallet or shipper records the full lane profile
**Dispatch** — logged data backs your release decision and provides recall evidence
Recommended monitoring practice
Place loggers at the **warmest** point of the load, not the coldest
Pre-set alarm limits at the food-safety threshold for the specific commodity
Keep records linked to the specific consignment or batch
Pair loggers with validated passive shippers so the temperature stays in range
Why the GCC is demanding
With ambient temperatures over 45°C in summer, the drop between the shipper and the storage room is where most excursions happen. A strong log + shipper combination protects both product and brand.
Royal Kana supplies food-safe USB/PDF loggers and validated shippers from Dubai, helping food importers and distributors across the GCC meet HACCP documentation requirements.
