The article is really disjointed

Info box

The info box for the article deals with 'food safety'. Shall we replace it with a more appropriate infobox showing the steps involved in cold chain? -Netha Hussain (talk) 17:28, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is it good style to define and explain the "cold chain" in terms of a speculative example: 'Disruption of a cold chain due to war may produce consequences similar to the smallpox outbreaks in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War.[4]'? Can such speculation be made without reference to the technology of the day since refrigeration technology has advanced greatly in the past 100 years? Xtian (talk) 21:23, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a terribly disjointed and rambling article, and feels like someone copy-pasted a lot of text and then search-and-replaced various terms, without actually reading the result. "Each time the process does not conform to the process", "During the distribution process one should monitor that process until one builds a sufficient data set that clearly demonstrates the process is in compliance and in a state of control" and so on. Not sure what I should do about it, but I have deleted some of the worst excesses...  M3TAinfo (view) 22:27, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Traditionally all historical stability data developed for vaccines was based on the temperature range of 2–8 °C (36–46 °F). With recent development of biological products by former vaccine developers, biologics has fallen into the same category of storage at 2–8 °C (36–46 °F) due to the nature of the products and the lack of testing these products at wider storage conditions."

The above paragraph (that I copied and pasted from the article) makes no sense. Please change it to make some sense.

mild rewrite

Hey all,

I saw this page is linked in the COVID-19 vaccine page, under the section for "cold chain". I noticed about 75% of the page was unsourced. I'm trying to get this reworked a bit to be more readable for anyone clicking on from the vaccination page. My goal is to get a bit more in depth than the three paragraphs currently on that page, while also giving a bit more of the general overview (non vaccine related) as well. Im deleting the unsourced material and adding some more current sources. I'm considering paring back some of this massive "see also" section, but for now I'm going to leave it.

Cancer treatment.

"As medical breakthroughs, such as in cancer treatment, have taken place, the demand for cold chain systems has grown." What have cold chains to do with medical breakthroughs in cancer treatment? The citation is about vaccines. Polar Apposite (talk) 19:00, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
