Safety and quality in food transport

The IIR Commission D2 has always been involved into the quality of perishable foodstuffs during transport. The Commission prepared a list of arguments to use for the future work. These arguments are exposed and illustrated, with particular reference to the main problems that refrigerated transport has to overcome in the next years: the worsening of thermal properties of insulating foams, the ageing of vehicles, the energy labeling and the wider use of refrigerated transport in warm and, in some cases, under developed countries.
