IR Thermometers Can Save Time and Prevent Food Safety Issues

How to use an IR thermometer.

For food handling, preparation and processing, storage, and safety, food infrared IR thermometers are essential. These are easy-to-use instruments can help save time and prevent food safety problems.

• Scan foods to quickly identify potential problems. You can confirm these issues by using a probe thermometer to take internal temperatures.
• Scan containers and equipment. In a matter of seconds, you can scan processing equipment, food cases, pots in a walk-in refrigerator, and even condenser coils on refrigerators.
• Help you adhere to most Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs, which typically require monitoring of food temperatures to ensure they do not exceed 40 to 140°F. In supermarkets and restaurants, the laser on the IR thermometer can be used as a pointer to show managers where problems exist—even in the ceiling or behind other objects.
