Food Poisoning More Likely at Home than at a Restaurant
Among the many industries we serve at Icecool Trailers is the restaurant industry. We provide restaurants with portable freezers and refrigerators for catered events, outdoor festivals, and the like. We also provide emergency refrigeration for the restaurant that suffers a mechanical breakdown of owned equipment. Therefore, we know that most restaurants take great care to ensure that both refrigeration and food storage practices are safe and in compliance with regulations. Consumers are more likely to get food poisoning at home than at a restaurant as a result of refrigeration issues.2
Recent Agreements to Shape the Future of Refrigeration
Two recent agreements reached among refrigeration industry stakeholders promise to shape the way commercial refrigeration is designed and utilised in future. The first agreement, between Eurovent and eurammon, is designed to push for faster and wider adoption of natural refrigerants. The second agreement deals with the safe handling of refrigerants, both now and in the future; it was reached between the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). We expect the results of both agreements to eventually affect what we do at Icecool Trailers in a very positive way.
Refrigerated Trailers Shouldn't Cause Health Problems
Straight from the files of odd and rare medical problems comes the story of an American woman who experienced seizures whenever she encountered a refrigerator or freezer. The woman, a mother of two from Indiana, never experienced any form of seizures until after the birth of her first child four years ago. However, as a new mother she began experiencing unexplained seizures every time her eyes came in contact with her refrigerator at home. As we explain the story in further detail, please understand that our refrigerated trailer rentals do not cause health problems like this. This woman's condition is rare indeed.
Promise of UHT Milk Never Materialised
In 2008, the UK government proposed a plan to require 90% of the milk sold in the country to be UHT milk by 2020. It was believed that a market dominated by UHT products would require far less refrigeration and, as a result, help to reduce greenhouse gases and ensure the UK met its emissions goals in the future. Unfortunately – perhaps fortunately, depending on your perspective – the promise of UHT milk never materialised.
