SmartBox System Could Enable Safer Home Food Deliveries
Credit: HomeValet Inc.
HomeValet Inc. has announced a new food safety compliance and risk management system for food delivery “from Store-to-Door.” HomeValet’s new product and services offering follows the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) December guidance addressing today’s unregulated “Wild West” of home food delivery, which lacks cold chain-compliant refrigeration, food temperature monitoring, and transparent compliance verification.
HomeValet’s system comprises a locked, refrigerated SmartBox that monitors temperatures in its freezer, refrigerator, and pantry compartments, and includes access and custody controls. The SmartBox reports temperature, video, and streaming data to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) cloud-based platform, and records are kept in a secure, encrypted database.
HomeValet’s compliance software is SOC2 certified, and the SmartBox is both UL and Intertek safety approved. HomeValet’s integrated, end-to-end solution protects food at staging, transport, and home receipt, and is accessible by applicable programming interfaces (APIs) and a smart phone app.
