Cold Chain (cadena de fr\u00edo in Spanish) essentially means that a product in distribution is kept refrigerated at a constant temperature at all times, including during transportation.<\/p>\n

The cold chain distribution is nothing new; daily, we see refrigerated trucks and vans on streets and highways, primarily used for distributing food products, often as a serious matter of health and food safety, but also to preserve the freshness and quality of the products.<\/p>\n

This is what makes this type of distribution a “chain,” as all links are kept at the same refrigeration temperature, from the producer to the consumer.<\/p>\n
