A cold supply chain is for goods that require strict temperature control as they move from manufacture to consumption. The products in a cold supply chain are often sensitive in nature, such as vaccines or biologics or perishable food items. To ensure the safety and effectiveness of the product, trading partners monitor the temperature conditions constantly. As a result, it is critical for all participants to adhere to best practices.
Additionally, effective information sharing among all parties is crucial to quickly address any changes that fall outside the requirements. If such an event were to go undetected, product quality as well as patient or consumer health could be at risk.
