5. In food production, care is of the essence. Temperature checks in production processes are equally important for quality as the fulfilment of hygiene
requirements and the maintenance of defined ambient conditions. Testo measuring instruments such as the one-hand temperature and pH measuring
instrument (fig. centre) are precise, ready to use at any time, and simplify monitoring.
According to the UN, the worldâs population
passed the seven billlion mark on the 31st of
October 2011, and there are 83 million people
more each year. How can seven million people be

from food shortages and high prices?

Uninterrupted safety from A to B.
Testo measuring instruments are accurate helpers in the transport, storage and sale
of foodstuffs.
Always ready to go: Ideally, you
keep your measuring instru-
ments where they will be used.
That way, they are always at

7. When the customer takes the fresh product out of the
refrigerated display, most of the work has already been
done. How he stores his food at home is in his own hands
from now on. Until then, however, it is in yours. Only
impeccable goods may reach the customer. Prescribed
temperature limit values must be strictly adhered to. Over
the entire cold chain: HACCP concepts allow no leeway.

are oriented towards the conditions in which they are used.
Testo data loggers continuously record temperatures in
refrigerated and deep-freeze rooms, and additionally
monitor the product temperature. All data gathered are
completely traceable and are documented in compliance
with the law. Our monitoring system testo SaverisTM is
particularly innovative. It informs you in real time when limit
