Refrigerated Trucks Issue in the News

Date September 27, 2011

Perhaps you’ve seen some of the latest news on delivery trucks being busted on CNN on your Direct tv . We take a deeper look behind the sometimes sordid world of refrigerated food delivery trucks and what the real risks are:
Food Isn’t Cold Enough: One of the biggest issues found in refrigerated trucks is that the food isn’t being kept cold enough. Drivers are turning off their cold units to save on gas and sometimes the internal temperature of the hold can get up to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Unsanitary Conditions: It’s appalling the conditions news crews have uncovered in the back of some trucks and the sad part is, many restaurant owners don’t realize. If you await food delivery, inspect the truck it came in to determine whether or not you want to do business with that company.
If You Have Concerns: Remember, it’s up to you whether or not you accept a delivery. If you suspect the food has been kept in sub-par conditions or isn’t cold enough you can refuse it and while you’re at it, call the authorities to report the delivery company.
