What is Cold Chain

The cold chain refers to a temperature-controlled supply chain necessary for preserving and transporting perishable products such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, ensuring they maintain quality, safety, and efficacy throughout the journey.

Real-World Example

A pharmaceutical company shipping vaccines must ensure they are transported in refrigerated containers maintained at a constant 2–8°C from manufacturing through final delivery to healthcare providers.
