Vitsab Unveils Freshtag Time-Temperature Monitoring Device

Cold Chain Ops
R&FF
December 14, 2025


Vitsab International AB, a global leader with over 20 years of temperature monitoring expertise, is proud to highlight Freshtag, a color-changing smart label designed to monitor perishable foods for time and temperature at every stage, ensuring uncompromised safety and quality to the customer. 

Freshtag represents a cost-effective, easy-to-integrate solution for food safety and quality management systems. At the core of the Freshtag’s engineering innovation, is its unique “Stoplight Technology,” which provides a clear, universally understood visual cue; labels remain green under safe conditions, then shift to yellow and finally to red if temperature abuse is detected according to specific product guidelines.

The simple visual progression allows anyone, from culinary professionals to delivery recipients, to quickly validate food safety at a glance, regardless of language or location.

Freshtag’s are FDA, EU, HACCP, ISO9001 compliant, adhering to compliance protocols. The Freshtag system is highly versatile, 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, whether in campus dining, remote services, retail settings, e-commerce packaging, or home delivery. They deliver cumulative temperature tracking consistently along the entire supply chain.

This advanced system reduces replacement orders and costly refunds by identifying when product integrity is compromised, while increasing customer confidence, satisfaction, and loyalty. The intuitive color-change technology minimizes spoilage-related losses, reinforces trust in the safety and quality of perishable goods, and helps protect profit margins even as ingredients and packaging costs fluctuate.

Current customers, from chefs and food service workers to home delivery recipients, consistently rate Freshtag highly for its ease of use and the clarity of its messaging. 

The system is visually validated at any stage of the food’s journey, providing instant, actionable reassurance. By empowering businesses to deliver trusted, high-quality products with visible, full-history quality monitoring, Freshtag sets a new standard for food safety and business reputation.
