LIFA coordinated insulation testing and temperature monitoring for Norwegian seafood packaging, reducing spoilage from 3.8% to 0.4%.

What needed to change?
Cold-chain breaches caused 2 rejected consignments and a 3.8% spoilage rate; the exporter's liability exposure was rising with retailers.
How LIFA managed the work
We qualified 3 packaging suppliers with certified insulation performance.
We ran temperature-profile testing on box designs for 48-hour transit.
We implemented temperature-logger sampling per container.
We negotiated a quality-performance agreement with the supplier.
Spoilage rate cut to 0.4%; zero rejections in 12 months; three new retail contracts signed on the strength of the cold-chain record.
From our company project database, with the work, approvals and results shown together.
What this project shows
The box needed to perform over the actual transit duration. Temperature profiles and shipment sampling connected packaging selection to cold-chain results.
