During transport in refrigerated containers or vehicles produce is kept cool by a stream of temperature-controlled air. An air temperature is displayed on the container's temperature recorder, but produce temperatures usually differ from this value, especially during the first few days of the journey. Produce temperatures can be monitored from outside the container, using thermocouples installed while produce is being stowed into the container. Details are given of how thermocouples should be prepared, installed and monitored, and how errors in temperature readings may occur.
