Heatwave risks: How food manufacturers can prepare now

Europe was recently hit by a heatwave, with temperatures rocketing up across the continent. Heatwaves make cold chain storage work harder and use more energy. However, they are unlikely to lead to spoilage as even most ambient products can normally cope with increased temperatures. Heatwaves do, of course, lead to increased demand for some categories, such as ice cream, but companies are usually prepared for this.
