REFRIGERATION

From export-grade meats to local dairy and fresh produce, effective refrigeration is the backbone of South Africa’s food economy. But with power disruptions and rising energy costs, the game has changed. Innovation is booming—from solar-driven cold storage to IoT-enabled temperature monitoring. The future of cold chain is sustainable, smart, and strategic. Get ahead of the curve and become part of the narrative as we explore stories on resilient refrigeration, energy efficiency, and the companies leading the cool revolution.

ALLERGENS AND FOOD FRAUD

With rising regulatory scrutiny and global recall trends, proactive allergen management and fraud detection aren’t just compliance—they’re a brand-saving investment.

In the May edition we focus on the latest tech and equipment to offset both these challenges.
