Frequently asked questions about food displays
How do you keep hot grab-and-go food from drying out in a heated display?
Keeping hot grab-and-go food fresh requires different technologies depending on whether the food is packaged or unpackaged:
-
For Packaged Food: Fri-Jado utilises patented Hot Blanket Technology. This technology creates a gentle, continuous blanket of hot air over each shelf, sealing out cold ambient air. The heat is distributed evenly and recycled efficiently, maintaining core temperatures without extracting moisture from the packaging.
-
For Unpackaged Food: Fri-Jado offers Humidified Displays. These heated cases use a precise combination of controlled hot air circulation and integrated humidification (steam/moisture control). This prevents open product – such pastries, chicken wings, or snacks – from drying out, ensuring they stay juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Can I use the same food display for packaged and unpackaged food?
No. Unpackaged food is more vulnerable to contamination and requires specific conditions, such as proper humidity and temperature control to maintain safety and quality. Fri-Jado’s patented technologies are designed to optimise holding conditions for both hot and refrigerated food, whether packaged or unpackaged. To maintain the highest standards of food safety and quality, separate displays are essential.
What is the minimum safe holding temperature for hot / cold food in a commercial display
For food safety, hot food must be held above 63°C (135°F) and cold food below 5°C (41°F) to prevent bacterial growth and maintain freshness. Fri-Jado food displays are engineered to guarantee these safe holding temperatures for a minimum of 4 hours, preserving optimal food quality and reducing waste.

United States: FDA Food Code
Note: Always check your local regulations as specific temperature requirements may vary by region.
What is the difference between a self-serve and a serve-over/full serve food display?
A self-serve food display allows customers to serve themselves, typically found in food-to-go setups. These displays are designed for easy access, food on the go. A serve over – or full serve – food display, on the other hand, is operated by staff who serve the food to customers.
Can Fri-Jado food displays be connected to remote monitoring systems?
Yes. Our displays feature intelligent digital controllers that can communicate with all major monitoring systems, such as Danfoss, Carel, Eliwell, and RDM, via a standardised communication protocol (ModBus over RS-485). This eliminates the need for specialised appliance-specific software and enables users to monitor their equipment through a unified portal.
