Tel-Tru Temperature Solutions has launched an educational initiative focused on the importance of temperature control in food manufacturing and processing.

The Every Degree Matters initiative coincides with National Food Safety Education Month in September and is intended to raise awareness about the role of temperature accuracy in food safety, product quality, and regulatory compliance.

As part of the initiative, Tel-Tru has developed educational resources for food safety and quality assurance professionals, including food safety temperature verification checklists, audit readiness worksheets, calibration standard operating procedure (SOP) templates, and thermometer verification log sheets. The company has also created an online resource center with materials focused on temperature verification programs.

Tel-Tru is also encouraging food manufacturers to evaluate five temperature measurement points within their operations: receiving, processing, holding, storage, and shipping. The exercise is intended to help facilities assess whether they can demonstrate the accuracy of temperature readings during an audit.
