Hi,
We receive pasteurized milk and egg mix for our products from a supplier who delivers using a refrigerated truck.
The mix comes in 200 gal totes made of stainless steel which have a large opening at the top and a small outlet at the bottom.
We are trying to decide the best way to ensure these are arriving at the correct temperature. Our previous quality manager was having the team point an IR gun at the outside of the tote (directly at the metal) but we aren't sure how accurate this is.
We have been removing a sample in a cup from the bottom outlet and taking the temperature with a digital pen thermometer.
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how to most accurately take the temperatures.
