Global temperature control company Vitsab International AB’s Freshtag system features a color-changing smart label to monitor perishable foods at every stage of distribution.
Freshtag utilizes the company’s Stoplight Technology, which uses easy-to-understand visual cues: Labels remain green under safe conditions, then shift to yellow and then to red if temperature abuse is detected, according to specific product guidelines.
Freshtag complies with FDA, EU, HACCP and ISO9001 protocols, according to Vitsab, and is suitable for use in refrigerated, frozen or passive storage environments. With no tools or technical setup required, labels are simple to receive, store and apply, the company said.
The system’s benefits for processors, distributors and cold chain partners will be highlighted March 15-17 at Seafood Processing North America 2026 in Boston.
