Vitsab and British
Airways Win Mercury Award

Working
together, British Airways and Vitsab International have created a new way to
ensure food freshness and safety for meals served on airline flights.
It's clearly an award-winning combination, as they garnered the top
prize at the International Inflight Food Service Association (IFSA)
Tradeshow and Conference on March 11th in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The result of this cooperative development is a new type
of temperature monitoring system that uses Vitsab International's CheckPoint®
time-temperature indicator (TTI) in combination with an engineered
reporting and response system. It's called the Flight 17 Smart
Label. The CheckPoint®
TTI is attached to a specially-designed label that allows on-board personnel to check
the status of the time and temperature exposure of food modules and
document that the signal from the CheckPoint® has been read, and that
appropriate action has been taken.
Flight 17 Smart Labels enable crew to check the safety of cold food.
Flight labels allow British Airways not only to be legally compliant but
to be more competitive and safe. Using this new system, the
airline can safely return catered meals onboard its fleet of aircraft,
some of which have no refrigeration facilities in their on-board
galleys.
