What Is Cold Chain?
A cold chain is the uninterrupted logistics and storage chain that keeps temperature-sensitive products (medicine, vaccines, dairy, halloumi, fruit and vegetables, meat, fish) within a controlled temperature range from production to final consumption. In climates such as Northern Cyprus, where summer daytime temperatures reach 34–40°C, a cold chain break means both product loss and medical and legal risk.
How Does Cold Chain Work?
A cold chain has four fundamental stages: production (cooling and packaging), storage (cold room), transport (refrigerated trailer, container, ferry) and final point (pharmacy, dairy, cold shelf). At every stage, temperature is continuously measured, logged, and excursions (out-of-range events) trigger real-time alarms. The chain is only as strong as its weakest link — a single power outage or cooling failure can compromise the entire batch.
