What is the Australian Cold Chain?

The Australian Cold Chain is the unbroken, temperature-controlled supply chain that connects production, storage and distribution facilities across the country. This vital infrastructure preserves and extends the shelf life of agricultural produce, seafood, frozen food and other temperature sensitive goods like pharmaceutical products.
