The Net Zero Drive & Fish and Chips: How Kelsius Is Helping the Industry Go Greener

Fish & Chips Meets Net Zero: A Deep-Fried Dilemma?

Fish and chips is more than a national treasure in the UK and Ireland—it’s a £1.2 billion industry. But as the world races towards Net Zero carbon emissions, this much-loved takeaway staple is under pressure to clean up its act.

From energy-guzzling fryers to high food waste, the carbon footprint of fish and chips is far from sustainable. The good news? Technology is catching up—and companies like Kelsius are stepping in to help.

 

What Is Net Zero, and Why Does It Matter?

“Net Zero” means balancing the amount of greenhouse gases emitted with the amount removed from the atmosphere. The UK government has legally committed to reaching Net Zero by 2050.

For foodservice businesses, this means:

  • Cutting down on energy use
  • Reducing food waste
  • Rethinking packaging
  • Improving supply chain transparency

That’s where the fish and chips industry comes in—an industry that relies on deep fryers, refrigeration, and fast-moving stock.

 

The Environmental Cost of Fish and Chips

While fish and chips might seem harmless, every plate carries a carbon load. Here’s a quick look:

The biggest culprits? Poor temperature management, energy-inefficient equipment, and lack of digital tracking—leading to spoiled stock and wasted energy.

 

Kelsius: A Smart, Sustainable Solution

Kelsius is helping fish and chip shops across the UK and Ireland step into the Net Zero era with smart Digital HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and temperature monitoring systems.

Here’s how Kelsius is making a difference:

  • Preventing stock loss from unnoticed fridge failures

That means less waste—and less emissions from food going to landfill.

  1. Improving Compliance with Net Zero Goals

Food safety and sustainability go hand-in-hand. With Kelsius:

  • Businesses meet EHO standards digitally
  • Staff spend less time on manual checks
  • Reporting for sustainability audits is easy and paperless

 

Why This Matters for the Fish and Chips Industry

As consumer demand for sustainability grows, people want more than great taste—they want eco-conscious food choices.

Fish and chip shops that adopt smart tech like Kelsius:

  • Improve their brand reputation
  • Appeal to eco-aware customers

Kelsius Digital HACCP and wireless temperature monitoring exceeds expectations for Hastings Hotels

The Culloden Estate And Spa Exterior

On average, each property saves three hours per day for all food staff

 

Hastings Hotels is a luxury hotel group operating six hotels and a stand-alone Gastro Pub, Cultra Inn, situated on the Culloden Estate in Northern Ireland, serving a wide range of prepared and fresh food to its customers. These seven properties offer guests an impressive choice of venues, catering across leisure, events, sporting pursuits and gourmet dining.

 

 

Challenges Faced by Management and Chefs

Hastings Hotels faced the challenge of managing food safety and HACCP records across multiple locations. Larger properties like the Grand Central and Europa Hotels have different areas for multiple kitchens, bars, delis and large catering spaces, all requiring up to date records to be kept.

Management had little oversight of all food safety records, with a paper process that was prone to errors, and too much time was spent on recording data rather than providing the best guest experience.

Chefs spent too much time reviewing paper records and manually recoding temperatures across different kitchens and floors. Stock was being lost due to no notifications of faulty appliances, and there was little traceability for food.

 

Introducing the Kelsius System

The Kelsius FoodCheck 2.0 system was introduced into operations at Hastings Hotels. With the system now in use in their properties, management has more confidence and peace of mind as audits and inspections are easier. Reporting is streamlined and it’s much easier to train any agency staff who are required ad hoc.

Digital traceability means better transparency and accountability, with no risk of falsification or mistakes due to human error. Automated alerts have hugely reduced the risk of food waste due to temperature excursions, improving the shelf life of products.

 

Benefits

  • Three hours saved per day on average per property by all food staff
  • Estimated £2000 per year per property saved on wasted food
  • Four hours per week saved by management using automated report
  • Paper, ink and folders used reduce to zero
  • Food safety training time reduced by half
  • 90% estimated reduction in mistakes caused by human error

 

 

Raymond Duncan Compliance, Operations & Procurement Manager, Hastings Group:

“Using the Kelsius system, I have peace of mind knowing all food safety processes are being adhered to. The automated system minimises human error and it’s so much easier for management to remotely identify trends or gaps in any hotel and act in real time. Our EHO loves the system as it gives them full visibility of our processes, in turn they are more confident in us to maintain outstanding food safety for our guests. We’re delighted with the system.”

The Importance of Temperature Control for Businesses in the Food Supply Chain

Temperature control is a cornerstone of the food supply chain, directly influencing food safety, product quality, and overall business success. Leveraging tools like wireless temperature monitoring, digital HACCP systems, and automated temperature reporting ensures compliance and efficiency across all stages, from farm to table.

Maintaining the correct temperature from the moment food is harvested until it reaches the consumer prevents spoilage, contamination, and waste. Incorporating advanced food industry IoT solutions, such as digital HACCP, streamlines these processes, reduces risks, and enhances operational efficiency.

In this article, we will examine the important role of temperature control and its impact on companies within the food industry.

Ensuring Food Safety

Food safety is the top priority in the food supply chain. Fluctuations in temperature can create conditions conducive to the growth of harmful bacteria, leading to health risks. In the UK, there are approximately 1 million reported cases of food poisoning annually1. In the US, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 48 million people suffer from foodborne illnesses each year, many due to improper temperature management2.

Maintaining the correct temperature during storage and transport minimises the risk of contamination. Businesses can achieve this through temperature mapping services, paperless HACCP solutions, and cold storage monitoring systems. These technologies ensure that temperature is consistently monitored and controlled across storage facilities, transport vehicles, and retail environments.

Preserving Food Quality

Temperature management not only safeguards food safety but also preserves the quality of food products. Perishable items such as fresh produce, meat, and dairy products have specific temperature requirements to maintain their flavour, texture, and nutritional value.

Incorrect temperature storage can accelerate the ripening of fruits and vegetables or lead to spoilage, resulting in financial losses. With readily available tools like CoolCheck and compliance auditing solutions, businesses can ensure product integrity throughout the supply chain.

Proper temperature management enables businesses to deliver high-quality products consistently. This fosters customer satisfaction, builds brand loyalty, and strengthens the company’s market reputation.

Compliance with Regulations

Adhering to food safety regulations is crucial for businesses in the food industry. Many jurisdictions mandate specific guidelines for temperature control, and non-compliance can lead to fines, legal actions, and reputational damage.

Investing in digital HACCP compliance automation and tools like the Kelsius Audit App allows businesses to meet regulatory requirements while safeguarding public health. Regular audits, accurate documentation, and comprehensive staff training on temperature protocols ensure compliance and mitigate risks of penalties.

Reducing Waste and Improving Efficiency

Inefficiencies in temperature control contribute to significant food waste, which accounts for nearly one-third of all food produced globally. This waste not only results in financial losses but also raises environmental concerns.

Implementing effective temperature management solutions, such as wireless temperature monitoring, can help businesses reduce spoilage, cut down on waste, and enhance operational efficiency.

Additionally, efficient temperature management improves supply chain processes. Businesses can better predict inventory needs, optimize stock levels, and respond more effectively to market demands. This saves time and resources while reducing environmental impacts.

Conclusion

Maintaining effective temperature control is essential for businesses in the food supply chain. It ensures food safety, preserves quality, meets regulatory requirements, and minimises waste.

Companies that prioritise temperature management solutions, such as automated temperature monitoring and digital HACCP systems, position themselves for success in a competitive marketplace. By fostering consumer trust and enhancing operational efficiency, these businesses can drive long-term growth.

Nisa to kickstart trial with Kelsius to automate food safety management processes

The symbol group Nisa commences a trial in September 2024 with Kelsius, providing digital HACCP and wireless temperature monitoring for independent grocers in the group.

The Kelsius system will allow automated temperature control for stores to ensure food is stored and cooked properly. The system includes sensors and probes for deli, bakery or butcher counters, as well as in fridges and freezers.

The sensors automatically alert retailers when a fridge or freezer temperature falls outside set parameters, helping them to prevent loss of stock and food waste. Probes can be used to monitor temperatures on the spot.

Accessing data in real time makes it easier for the retailer to create reports, gain insights, and provide data for audits. The system can also help Nisa retailers to automate checklists and monitor routine activities such as cleaning tasks.

The system saves retailers time and resources on processes that would otherwise be undertaken manually, while removing the risk of human error.

Kelsius UK food retail sales manager Danielle Guy said, “We are all aware of the challenges that continue to affect convenience retailers. Labour shortages, increasing costs and supply chain issues mean that more and more, retailers are looking to engage in processes and procedures that help them to maximise efficiencies.”

She continued, “Using the Kelsius system means that managers and business owners have peace of mind that the system is monitoring valuable stock 24/7. Food safety practices are automated, consistent and compliant with regulations, with traceability assured from delivery through to serving customers.”
