New Low Cost Temperature Testing Fights Food Bacteria

Why spend money on different colour coded thermometers to fight bacterial cross contamination when there’s a more hygienic and affordable way to keep food safe?  

This is the question posed by British thermometer manufacturers TME, who have developed a more hygienic, low cost method of preventing cross-contamination which is being demonstrated on their Stand H288 at Birmingham NEC’s Foodex 2016 (18th-20th April).


CA2005 Temperature Range
TME’s NEW CA2005 Temperature Range features a single high performance thermometer combined with interchangeable colour coded food probes, sufficiently waterproof to clean in a ware washer.

Colour coded food safety
Testing core food temperature obviously requires direct contact so it’s not surprising that colour coded food thermometers are also used – like colour coded knives and chopping boards – to prevent the spread of bacteria from one food group to another. But at what expense – and are they really hygienic enough?


TM Electronics MD, Tom Sensier: “The old system of buying multi-coloured thermometers just isn’t financially sustainable – not for the customer or even for the supplier who is expected to stock all the colours of the rainbow! And what’s the point of reducing cross contamination if you can’t make sure the needle probe itself is sterile? With our new system it’s only the probes – a low cost item - which ‘change’ colour – and because they’re completely waterproof you get a much more hygienic result.”

 
CA2005 Temperature Range
TME’s new colour coded temperature range offers a single IP67 waterproof thermometer with a choice of colour coded, high accuracy probes – delivering an impressive 3 second response. Each probe is fitted with a thermocouple mini plug so it’s easy to switch between food groups and - most important of all - the probes are dishwasher-safe for ease of cleaning and sterilisation.


Affordable Food Hygiene
More hygienic than using conventional colour coded pen thermometers which are only splash-proof - the new system is also much cheaper at just £15 a probe, making them inexpensive to replace plus you can buy as many or as few as you like – and only £55 for a long-life thermometer tough enough to stand up to the rigours of any commercial kitchen.   


“The CA2005 system is designed to bring easy to use, high performance thermometers within all budgets, helping both individual businesses as well as the multiples to up their hygiene ratings without having to spend a fortune.”
 
Colour Coded Wall Storage
Or why not kit out your whole kitchen with everything you need and for a lot less money too? TME’s CA2005-PKW kit gives you the thermometer, six colour coded probes and a stainless steel colour coded wall storage unit – all for an unbeatable £144.  


“EHOs are bound to approve of our colour coded wall unit for safe and convenient storage of thermometer and probes, keeping everything in one place and providing staff with immediate visual guidance on cross contamination colour coding.”

New Developments: Colourful New Probes Fight Food Bacteria

Tough on bacteria – easy on the budget. That’s the concept behind a new colour coded temperature kit launched by UK thermometer manufacturer, TM Electronics (TME).

The CA2005 Catering Thermometer with unique colour coded dishwasher-proof probes offers a new, low cost method of eliminating bacterial cross-contamination during food temperature testing. TME will be showing off its new solution to a familiar food hygiene problem on 24-25th February at Casual Dining 2016 (London Business Centre) stand M335. 

Why go to the expense and inconvenience of buying 5 colour coded thermometers when you only need one? That was the question TME designers asked when they came up with a cheaper and more hygienic solution: the CA2005, a single high performance thermometer with a choice of colour coded Thermasprint fast response needle probes, offering a high spec low cost method of temperature testing. Each probe is fitted with a thermocouple mini plug making it quick and easy to swap probes according to food group while using the same thermometer. Due to their unique waterproof construction, the probes are also dishwasher-safe for ease of cleaning and sterilization.

Colour coded food preparation
Colour coded catering equipment - like chopping boards – is widely recommended to help prevent the spread of bacteria from one food group to another during food preparation. Over the years, chefs have also been encouraged to buy colour coded thermometers for the same reason. But at what cost?

MD Tom Sensier: “Buying a different thermometer for each food group can be hard on the budget, leading some chefs to sacrifice accuracy, speed of response and ease of cleaning in order to afford a full set of thermometers in different colours. At TME, we believe there should be a more practical solution that costs less while still adding value - that’s why we developed the CA2005 system.”

At a list price of £55 for the CA2005 thermometer, probes just £15 each and an unbeatable £117 for the CA2005-PK thermometer-and-5-probe-bundle, Tom Sensier believes the new system will revolutionise food hygiene in the commercial kitchen: “The CA2005 system is designed to bring high performance, food-safe thermometers within the grasp of all chefs, helping both individual restaurants and the bigger brands to drive costs down while keeping standards high.”
