Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is the internationally recognized food safety management system used by food processors, hotels, retailers and regulators. Temperature control is one of the most important critical control points in the entire food chain, and the cold room is where that control lives or dies. Refitec Kenya designs and installs HACCP-compliant cold room solutions for food businesses in Nairobi and the rest of Kenya, supporting both product safety and audit success.

Why Cold Rooms Matter in HACCP

Under HACCP, biological hazards such as bacterial growth are controlled by holding foods at temperatures that slow or stop pathogen activity. A HACCP-compliant cold room must therefore do more than be cold: it must hold the documented critical limits at all times, be cleanable and hygienic, support cross-contamination control, and provide records that demonstrate control to auditors and inspectors. A cold room that cannot evidence temperature control undermines the entire food safety plan.

Features of Our HACCP-Compliant Cold Rooms

• Reliable temperature control — correctly sized refrigeration with the capacity to recover after door openings and deliveries, holding set point without drift.
• Food-safe materials and finishes — hygienic panel surfaces, coved junctions where required, food-grade sealants and easy-clean surfaces suitable for wash-down regimes.
• Monitoring and logging — continuous temperature recording with calibrated sensors, alarms and downloadable records for HACCP verification.
• Zone separation — layout and partitions that separate raw and ready-to-eat products, and chilled from frozen goods, to control cross-contamination.
• Door management — strip curtains, airlocks and door discipline aids that limit temperature abuse during busy service periods.
• Defrost and drainage design — defrost regimes and heated, trapped drains that prevent water accumulation, a common source of contamination.
• Access and workflow — FIFO-friendly layouts, sufficient space for cleaning, and surfaces without hard-to-reach dirt traps.

Our Service

1. Hazard-aware design — we review your product range and food safety plan, then design the cold room layout, zones, finishes and controls around your critical limits.
2. Compliant construction — panels, floors, doors, refrigeration and drainage are installed with food-safe, cleanable materials.
3. Monitoring implementation — calibrated logging and alarm systems are installed and set to your critical limits.
4. Verification testing — we test temperature stability under load, door-opening and pulldown conditions, and provide documentation for your HACCP records.
5. Staff guidance and maintenance — we train users on correct loading, cleaning and record-keeping, and provide maintenance contracts to keep the system audit-ready.
