The risk assessment unit 17a is for assessing the risk of food based on the temperature and humidity data of the entire production / processing / distribution / storage / cooking / feeding process of food, We have constructed various risk assessment models including functional expressions that can analyze the risk according to the change of humidity. The risk evaluation unit 17a selects an evaluation model according to the type of food, the processing style, the cooking method, and the like, and inputs the variables such as the temperature and humidity data of the food into the evaluation model to calculate the risk evaluation data. The risk assessment of food can lead to multiple levels of probability of problematic ingestion due to food corruption.

The expiration setting unit 17b is for setting the expiration date or the expiration date of the food based on the temperature and humidity data of the entire production / processing / distribution / storage / cooking / feeding process of the food. The expiration setting unit 17b sets the type of food, The time limit is calculated according to the change of the temperature and the humidity according to the temperature. The expiration setting unit 17b is provided with a module for setting the expiration date and the expiration date according to the change of the temperature and humidity according to the type of food, the cooking method and the storage time, .

Although it is general that the expiration date of the food is marked on the package, in the present invention, it is possible to set a more specific and accurate expiration date or the expiration date on the basis of the storage temperature and humidity data of the individual food, so that the distributor, the seller, It is possible to prevent the food poisoning accidents and the like of the food in advance.

On the other hand, the food provided in the foodservice station 20 is provided as it is when it is introduced into the foodservice station 20, while it is often cooked in the form of another food after being cooked. The food to be analyzed by the risk evaluating unit 17a and the expiration setting unit 17b described above provides information on all the foods handled or provided by the foodservice station 20 such as food serving as a raw material and foods subjected to a cooking process . In other words, risk assessment information can be provided to consumers not only about the risks of the final food provided to consumers but also about the foods used as ingredients.

The warning unit 17c is for monitoring the temperature and humidity data of the temperature sensor 21a and the humidity sensor 21b installed in the food processing station 20 and generating a warning message when the temperature and humidity data are out of a specific range. The range may vary depending on the place where the temperature sensor 21a or the humidity sensor 21b is installed. For example, the appropriate temperature setting range may vary depending on the installation space, such as the freezer, the refrigerator, the room temperature, and the cooking space, where the temperature sensor 21a and the humidity sensor 21b are attached. Can be set differently.

The warning unit 17c also receives information on the foods that the risk assessment unit 17a has determined to be dangerous or the foods for which the shelf life or the food shelf life set by the time setting unit 17b is short, By providing this information to the administrator, the foodservice manager can provide the convenience of safely managing the stored food or the food for providing the food.

Meanwhile, the data analysis unit 17 according to another embodiment of the present invention may further include a distribution path generation unit (not shown). A distribution route generating unit (not shown) is for generating information on a distribution route related to food, and is for collecting and analyzing the location information from the food container 50 to generate information on the distribution route regarding the food, Map information including information on a place where a food is produced, a processing destination, a distribution destination, or a sale place is built in advance.
