With more than 190,000 Australians living in residential aged care, maintaining precise storage conditions is vital - not only for food safety and minimising the risk of foodborne illnesses but also for reducing food waste and supporting a sustainable model of care.  

At Testo, we understand that food safety begins long before a meal reaches the table. Our precision measurement and monitoring solutions help aged care providers maintain food integrity and safety at every stage from cold storage to preparation and service, ensuring residents receive safe food.

Food safety relies on certainty, and that begins with temperature. In aged care, where residents are more vulnerable to foodborne illnesses, maintaining the right temperature isn’t just about meeting compliance standards, it's about care.

Reliable temperature control ensures food stays safe from harmful bacteria that thrive in environments between 4°C and 60°C, the danger zone where bacteria can multiply rapidly. For aged care providers, effective temperature management means protecting those most at risk.

Just as critical as temperature monitoring is temperature mapping, a process that identifies areas within a cold room or refrigerator where temperatures may drift outside safe limits, potentially compromising food safety. Temperature mapping provides facilities with the data needed to take corrective action quickly and confidently, ensuring cold storage systems continue to perform and maintain food-safe temperatures.

At Testo, we provide more than just measurement instruments - we deliver peace of mind. Our ecosystem of products and services is designed to help you reach your food safety goals with confidence.
