Different modes of transportation with loading, unloading, and storage in between, increase the possibility of temperature abuse on these frozen army rations, which might compromise their microbial safety and chemical quality (Blond and Le Meste, 2004 and Moureh and Derens, 2000). It is imperative to have a technological solution for such frozen food items that would alert the end user, about the freeze–thaw cycles experienced by the food items due to possible temperature abuse and its overall impact on the safety and quality of food items, before they are consumed.
