PMMI
course, Principles of Cold Chain
Packaging (CC 101), in February 2024.
" Cold chain packaging is a critically
important field that requires constant
innovation and education. CC 101 is a
great way to learn the fundamentals
and stay updated on the latest trends
and best practices, " A.J. Gruber,
president and CEO of ISTA, said.
The course, an overview of cold
chain packaging, covers topics
including distribution environment
hazards, heat transfer, temperaturesensitive
products and aspects of cold
chain including packaging solutions,
system testing and quality control.
Interactive modules, quizzes, videos
and case studies enhance the learning
experience and provide practical
examples of cold chain packaging
applications. The course fee is $395
for ISTA members and $495 for
non-members.
" Fresh produce can be
especially challenging
because optimum
conditions can range from
near freezing to about
60° F, depending on the
fruit or vegetable
being shipped. "
Smart technology, such as data
loggers, also plays a role in
temperature-controlled packaging. Such
devices can monitor conditions inside
the package and provide early alerts to
temperature excursions. Temperaturecontrolled
packaging may also be
equipped with temperature-sensitive
labels, which are printed with
thermochromic ink that changes color if
threshold temperatures are exceeded.
STUDIES IN SUCCESS

producers, especially food delivery
services, have adopted reusable and/or
