ComBase users say...
Government-issued food safety rules are designed to be highly fail-safe, which sometimes does not match commercial realities. We use both ComBase and CB Premium models, alongside HACCP analysis, to help client businesses operate where there are no better options. This can give a considerable commercial advantage by allowing customized temperature and time profiles that are not available to competitors.Phill Dromgool
