UK Aims to Reduce GHG Emissions by Increasing Frozen Food Temperature

The opportunities and challenges of increasing the temperature set point of frozen food were discussed comprehensively during the Cold Chain Climate Summit 2024 held on March 13 in the United Kingdom by the Cold Chain Federation (CCF). Georgios Tetradis-Mairis, head of R&D Futures, Nomad Foods, shared new research findings that moving from –18 to –15℃ would not compromise food safety or quality and could deliver a 10% reduction in energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
