Cold chain management is one of the most important — and most misunderstood — parts of the global meat industry.
A premium-quality product can become low-grade meat just because the temperature was mishandled once.

Tabrook™ has built a zero-compromise cold chain system that protects product quality from slaughterhouses in India all the way to UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Africa, and beyond.

Let’s take buyers through the full process.

1. Immediate Chilling after Slaughter

Right after slaughter, temperature control starts:

  • Carcasses are quickly moved into chilling rooms

  • Kept between 0°C to 4°C

  • Prevents bacterial growth

  • Locks freshness

  • Maintains natural meat colour

This early stage is critical for high-grade products.

2. Processing in Temperature-Controlled Halls

Inside Tabrook™'s export-approved plants:

  • Cutting rooms are kept cool

  • Stainless steel machinery prevents heat buildup

  • Meat never touches warm surfaces

  • Staff follows strict hygiene standards

This ensures clean, safe, contamination-free meat.

3. Blast Freezing at –40°C

After cutting and packing, all meat undergoes blast freezing.

Why?

Because:

✔ It rapidly freezes the outer & inner layers
✔ Locks moisture inside
✔ Protects tenderness
✔ Prevents ice crystal damage
✔ Extends shelf life safely

Blast freezing is the difference between premium and average meat.

4. Storage at –18°C Until Export

Once frozen, cartons (18kg & 20kg) are placed in:

  • Cold rooms set to –18°C

  • Shelves designed for airflow

  • Separate Halal storage zones

  • 24/7 temperature monitoring

This prevents product thawing during waiting periods.

5. Reefer Container Loading Without Temperature Loss

One of Tabrook™’s biggest strengths:

Seamless cold chain from factory to port

We ensure:

  • Dock-to-container loading

  • Containers pre-cooled before packing

  • Zero exposure to outdoor heat

  • Sealed, locked export containers

  • Temperature logs recorded

  • Customs inspections done quickly

No heat exposure = no product damage.

6. Sea Transport with 24/7 Temperature Monitoring

During export to UAE & GCC:

  • Containers remain locked

  • Reefer units maintain –18°C

  • Tracking systems monitor temperature

  • Alerts are sent if deviations occur

This guarantees consistent quality upon arrival.
