TempDot Plus: Ensure Safe Food Delivery
Our commitment to quality doesn’t end when your order leaves our facility—it travels all the way to your doorstep. While we’ve always taken every precaution to keep your perishable items fresh, we’re excited to talk about an extra layer of assurance to your gourmet experience.
All temperature-sensitive shipments from Caviar Star include a temperature monitoring tool: the TempDot Plus time-temperature indicator (TTI). Whether you’re ordering directly from caviarstar.com, or through our trusted storefronts on Amazon and eBay, every perishable delivery comes equipped with this added measure of transparency.
What Is the TempDot Plus Indicator?
The TempDot Plus is a compact, easy-to-read temperature sensor that helps make sure the product you receive has remained within safe storage conditions throughout its journey. It’s a small but powerful tool placed on a business card included in your shipment—discreet, effective, and simple to check.
Upon receiving your order, we recommend opening your package promptly and inspecting the TempDot indicator before placing your items into the refrigerator.
Here’s what to look for:
- Locate the horizontal strip at the bottom of the sensor, just below the “On” button.
- A white strip means the product has stayed below 37°F during transit—ideal conditions for caviar and other perishable delicacies.
- If the strip has turned blue, it indicates that the package may have been exposed to temperatures above the recommended limit. In that case, please contact our team immediately via our contact page or call us at 888-268-8780.
Why 37°F?
According to FDA guidelines, the ideal temperature for storing most perishable foods is between 35°F and 37°F. This range guarantees the safety, texture, and flavor integrity of your products—particularly vital when it comes to delicacies like caviar.
If your home refrigerator runs slightly warmer and you’re unsure whether it maintains that range, we recommend enjoying your products within one week of delivery for optimal freshness.
And yes, you can freeze caviar, but with a caveat: while freezing will extend its shelf life, you may notice a slight change in texture or flavor upon thawing. For best results, consume chilled from the refrigerator within the suggested timeframe.
A Small Detail That Makes a Big Difference
Having TempDot Plus indicators with our perishable shipments is just one more way we reinforce our promise to you: top-quality gourmet products delivered safely and with care. In a world where shipping delays and unpredictable temperatures can impact even the finest foods, our goal is to provide you with peace of mind at every step.
Your safety—and your satisfaction—is always our highest priority. So next time you open a Caviar Star shipment and see a little sensor card tucked inside, know that it’s there for one reason: to make sure that the luxury you’ve ordered is just as fresh and exceptional as we intended it to be.
Bon appétit—and thank you for trusting Caviar Star.
