What Are Some Challenges of Meat Storage?
Storing meat, whether for short- or long-term, requires specialized storage solutions. Unlike canned goods and other nonperishables, meat won’t last long under the wrong conditions. Therefore, butchers, meat processors, and others in the industry must consider the following when it comes to meat storage:
Safety
Meat needs to be kept at a certain temperature to protect against the growth of bacteria. This includes bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, which can thrive if meat is left in room temperature conditions. If consumed, meat with these bacteria can lead to foodborne illnesses that affect the gastrointestinal system, resulting in nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and other symptoms. For this reason, meat should be stored at temperatures of 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below.
Quality
Aside from sickness, meat that isn’t properly stored may spoil. Spoiled meat is not only harmful to ingest, but even if bacteria growth hasn’t occurred, the product’s quality will suffer. Businesses that manufacture or sell food items need to ensure that their products are as fresh and flavorful as possible to keep customers coming back for more and to protect their reputation.
Throughput
Your business relies on effective storage solutions to accommodate your customers. This means that having a dedicated storage system optimizes your processes and allows meat products to be properly managed, saving you time, money, and headaches.
What Types of Commercial Meat Coolers and Freezers Are Available?
At American Cooler Technologies, we understand just how important meat storage is to businesses. That’s why we have dedicated units for butcher shops that have features and functions tailored to the needs of the industry. Our commercial coolers are designed to help by providing features you can count on, such as:
- Polyurethane insulation to maintain stable temperatures for meat
- Humidity awareness to ensure proper temperature control
- Non-porous interior finishes to prevent the absorption of food particles
- Removable shelving for enhanced organization
- Reinforced doors for added security
- Separate storage spaces to reduce the risk of cross-contamination
The type of meat storage unit you need will depend on its purpose. Many commercial environments benefit from having multiple systems for different applications. Those who only need to keep meat stored for a short period will benefit from chilled storage coolers, while facilities that keep meat for extended periods should use freezers to ensure products last longer. Certain industries will require spaces for both receiving and staging. In this case, you’ll want to have separate units for each to allow easy access and to help when reviewing inventory. At American Cooler Technologies, we offer custom-designed coolers and freezers to provide all the features you need for safe storage.
