Changing Frozen Food's Bad Reputation
Talk to the average person on the street about frozen food and you are likely to hear comments about it being flavourless and lacking important nutrients as compared to fresh foods.

Winter Is No Substitute for Emergency Fridge Rental
The winter months can be pretty slow for portable refrigeration companies, at least where emergency fridge rental is concerned.

Influenza Outbreak Increases Refrigeration Demand
An outbreak of avian influenza (bird flu) this past November (2014) has resulted in a slower export market for spent hens, as importing countries are being especially cautious with the poultry meat products brought in to their markets.

Milk Producers Obligated to Maintain Cold Storage
The difficulty with raw milk is the fact that it contains the natural bacteria present in the animals producing it.

In addition, poor hygiene practices at the local level can introduce additional bacteria that could be harmful. Proper cold storage can prevent such contaminants from proliferating in raw milk supplies.
