Product Description:
CoolVu T&S (“Thaw and Sell”) is an intelligent “use by date” for perishable food products that are kept frozen for lengthy (but variable) periods of time, and are then thawed for sale. In many cases such as this, the product’s ultimate “best before” or “use by” date is determined from the point of thawing. CoolVu indicators are applied at the point of packaging, and remain dormant as long as the products are kept frozen. Once the products are thawed for sale, the indicator’s time/temperature “clock” begins to tick, and gives the intended users (distributors + retailers and/or consumers) a clear visual indication as to the end point of the product’s shelf life. The product is able to be calibrated to various shelf lives.
