Listeria in cold cuts. Vegetables and fruits contaminated with <em>E. coli<\/em>. Whether the bacterial contamination was local or regional, improperly processed foods harm customers and are bad for business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the reasons vary for these and other recalls, one thing is true: accurate temperature measurement in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/food_and_beverages.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">food and beverage industry<\/a> can prevent some of the conditions that lead to foodborne illnesses. Robust, reliable sensors help ensure that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cooking temperatures are hot enough to kill bacteria.<\/li>\n<li>Cleaning temperatures are high enough to sterilize food-handling equipment.<\/li>\n<li>Food storage temperatures are low enough to prevent bacterial growth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thermometers used in this industry should be designed for sanitary applications. This means the process connections, wetted materials, and surface finishes must comply with 3-A sanitary standards.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sanitary Temperature Probes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also known as RTDs (resistance temperature detectors), <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/products\/temperature-products\/need-know-industrial-resistance-thermometers\/\">resistance thermometers<\/a> are ideal for use in food production facilities due to the instruments\u2019 high accuracy, long-term stability, and easy installation and calibration. WIKA offers a selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/lp_sanitary_sensors.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">industrial sanitary sensors<\/a>, all with 3-A and\/or EHEDG certifications and autoclavable versions available.

Since <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/products\/pressure-products\/pressure-sensor-failure-due-water-moisture\/\">moisture is a common cause of sensor failure<\/a>, the electrical components have <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/knowhow\/nema-rating-and-ip-rating-explaining-the-difference\/\">ingress protection<\/a> up to IP67 to IP69K. This small, easily customizable resistance thermometer is the ideal instrument for tight spaces in food production facilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some manufacturers of sanitary probes put a sanitary gasket between the protection tube and the flange. But since gaskets comes into contact with the product, and even food-grade elastomers have crevices that can harbor bacteria, WIKA welds the two components together to avoid using a sealant. This welded junction also holds up better than elastomers under the strong chemicals and high temperatures and pressure of cleaning- and sterilizing-in-place (CIP\/SIP) processes.<\/p>\n<h3>TR22-A resistance thermometer<\/h3>\n\n      <div class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width:154px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/files\/2025\/03\/tr22-a-300x471.png\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">TR22-A resistance thermometer<\/p><\/div>\n    \n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/tr22_a.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">TR22-A<\/a> features a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/products\/temperature-products\/pt100-and-pt1000-sensors-important-facts-and-differences\/\">Pt100 sensor<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/products\/temperature-products\/wire-wound-vs-thin-film-resistance-temperature-detector\/\">thin-film technology<\/a> for fast, accurate, and reliable temperature measurements.
