How do I know that the truck operator has not had potentially hazardous food out of temperature control for more than 2 hours?
Food businesses have the right to ask transporters if, and how long, potentially hazardous foods have been outside of temperature control; food transporters carrying these types of foods are also food businesses and are thus required to meet the Standards. Some refrigerated transport vehicles produce data logs that record the temperature of foods for up to 48 hours – food receivers can ask to view those data logs. If transporters cannot demonstrate that the food is safe the food business should not accept the food.
