Courses for the Cold Chain Industry
One quarter of Australia’s production of fruit and vegetables is never eaten.
This loss alone accounts for almost two million tonnes of otherwise edible food, worth over $3 billion.
Meat and seafood waste in the cold chain costs the country another $90 million, and dairy losses $70 million.

The overall estimated cost of an under-performing cold chain is almost $4 billion per year at farm gate value.
These shocking statistics have driven experts from all parts of the industry to collaborate on a new Cold Food Code for Australia, which aims to establish guiding principles for all cold chain professionals to adopt.
Covering everything from thermometer selection and use, to transport and storage guidelines, temperature monitoring and refrigerated transport requirements, the Cold Food Code aims to improve the cold chain, achieve knowledge transfer and create behavioural change.
SuperSchool’s cold chain courses are designed to be used in tandem with the Code, as a user-friendly way for people at all levels of industry to digest this critical information and make a direct impact on reducing food waste statistics.
Drive efficiency at all levels of your business by learning how to maintain cold chain integrity and stamp out waste.

A better understanding of the fundamental concepts of managing an efficient cold chain leads to better quality produce, improved food safety outcomes and better compliance with HACCP principles and Australian Standards.
Better for business, better for the environment
Improving Australia’s food waste problem is a long-term, multi-tiered undertaking and requires lasting behaviour change from consumers as well as improved growing and environmental practices.
However, with a quarter of the fruit and vegetables that our nation produces never even making it to the consumer, properly addressing food waste in the cold chain could have an incredible impact on our waste statistics.
By upskilling employees and promoting better process management, you can ensure precise temperature management in your business. This leads to better environmental outcomes, more sustainable food practices and better profitability.
