Chilled Product Temperature in Vending – What the Label Says

1 min read

Every chilled product has storage conditions on its label. The machine has to meet them.

The producer states storage conditions for chilled products on the label, for example as a temperature range. The machine or cooler must hold a temperature that meets the most sensitive product in that zone. Many devices monitor temperature and block sales when it passes a set threshold.
