Already a winner, Team GB will compete using the Kelsius Digital HACCP system, FoodCheck 2.0

Kelsius, a leader in digital HACCP and wireless temperature monitoring solutions for the food industry, is delighted to announce its sponsorship of the Craft Guild Culinary Team as it prepares for the Culinary World Cup 2026.

The Craft Guild Culinary Team is an elite group of chefs who work together to compete in culinary competitions at the very highest level in the UK and beyond. The team took part in the recent 2024 Culinary Olympics in Stuttgart where they excelled, taking home seven medals including five gold, one silver and one bronze.

Currently the team consists of nine chefs who have demonstrated not only their skills in culinary excellence but also their ability to perform in the highly pressurised environment of competition.

The team aims to grow to 17 chefs in 2025 and to 20 by 2026.

The Craft Guild Culinary Team is already preparing for its participation in the Culinary World Cup 2026 which will take place in Luxembourg in November 2026.

To exercise best practice in the competition, teams are required to use a digital HACCP system and FoodCheck 2.0 from Kelsius will be the system of choice for the competing Craft Guild Culinary Team. In addition, the team will use Kelsius’s world-class digital sensor technology which will provide automated temperature recordings of fridges and freezers. This will remove the need to manually take and input temperature recordings and all alerts will be directed in real time to a push notification app or email.

Team Captain for the Craft Guild Culinary Team, Terry O’Riordan said, “We are thrilled to have Kelsius on board as our sponsor and providing us with the critical digital HACCP system that will support our team in competition. We need robust and reliable digital HACCP that will give us real-time results under pressure. We believe that Kelsius provides us with that, and we look forward to working with the Kelsius team to help us ensure that the system is optimised and tailored for our very specific needs.”

Kelsius Sales Manager UK, Rob Lelliott said, “The Craft Guild Culinary Team has already demonstrated their extraordinary levels of delivery and performance at the 2024 Culinary Olympics. We are delighted that our FoodCheck 2.0 digital HACCP system has been selected for the team. Having demonstrated its capabilities we are extremely confident that it will meet and exceed the standards required for the World Cup scoring system. FoodCheck delivers and performs to the very highest levels, whether this is for a small hospitality business or a professional team competing on an international stage. We look forward to supporting the team as they prepare for the 2026 World Cup and we wish them every success.”

The theme of this year’s IFSA Awards was based around sustainability. After being shortlisted to the final 4 out of the total 18 nominees.

Kelsius went on to win the award after presenting a Dragons Den styled presentation.

The environmental benefits of using an automated system for temperature monitoring was presented to the panel of judges Maurice Bergin, Brian Walsh, Keith Waren, Tony McGuigan, Guillaume Oates and Seán Graham.
Some of the key facts mentioned included how the average food business must have 1 tree worth of paper, 10,000 sheets in storage to be legally HACCP compliant. As well at this each sheet taking 6-9 years to fully decompose.
This is where FoodCheck 2.0 helps businesses in the food industry cut down on their paper waste and take a sustainable approach to business.

The Solution:

Kelsius removes paper from your temperature monitoring routines therefore greatly reduces waste levels from your entire business.

All sectors across Food and Life Sciences Industries depend on temperature monitoring to accurately monitor stock and products and with FoodCheck 2.0, this is done sustainably without the use of pen and paper.
