Cold Chain Compliance is the brand for the advisory work of the Federation. Our focus will be on producing simple, accessible, guides that tell people what they need to know about key regulatory challenges from health and safety, to refrigeration management and food safety, as well as providing bespoke answers to member’s compliance queries.
Our compliance work is divided between Health and Safety and Food Safety and has been written specifically for cold chain businesses.
