“…“Vulnerability” thus has become an inherent character modern day supply chain. Moreover, supply chains dealing with perishable products like fresh food are more prone than ever to all the various types of risks having their source in the product they are dealing with or processes they are composed of (Jia et al. , 2024).…”

PurposeThis article aims to evaluate published food cold chain (FCC) literature against risk management and supply chain sustainability concepts.Design/methodology/approachThe article uses the theory refinement logic proposed by Seuring et al. (2021) to analyze the contents of FCC management-related literature published over the past 20 years. A sample of 116 articles was gathered using Web of Science and subsequently analyzed. The respective articles were then systematically coded against the frameworks of Beske and Seuring (2014) and Vlajic et al. (2012), which focused on building sustainable and robust supply chains, respectively.FindingsThe literature review revealed that debates around managing contemporary sources of disruptions/vulnerability and making FCCs more sustainable and resilient are gradually developing. However, an overarching risk management perspective along with incorporating social and environmental dimensions in managing FCCs still needs the adequate attention of the respective research community.Research limitations/implicationsThe deductive internal logic of theory refinement approach used in this paper could have been further strengthened by using additional frameworks. This limitation, however, opens avenues for further research. The findings of the paper will stimulate the interest of future researchers to work on expanding our understanding related to sustainability and risk management in FCCs.Originality/valueThe paper is the first attempt to organize published FCC literature along dimensions of supply chain sustainability and risk management. The paper thus provides the respective researchers with a foundation that will help them adopt a focused approach to addressing the research gaps.

Sustainable and resilient cold chains (CC) are the backbone of several industries, ensuring the seamless transport and storage of temperature‐sensitive products ranging from fresh produce and pharmaceuticals to life‐saving vaccines. Particularly in times of disruptions, such as natural disasters or global health crises, the sustainability and resilience of CCs become even more crucial, highlighting the urgent need for research, innovation, and strategic planning in this domain. This study conducted a systematic review of the sustainable and resilient CC research literature. A total of 143 high‐quality articles were shortlisted from the Web‐of‐Science (WoS) database for in‐depth content analysis. This review clarifies the existing results and highlights the trending themes and persistent gaps in research pertaining to CC in a business context and at a strategic level. It covers notably disruptions and related impacts, the relationship between sustainability and resilience in CC, decision tools for sustainable and resilient CC, CC sustainability and resilience performance areas and measurement metrics, data‐driven digital transformation for sustainable and resilient CC, and strategies for developing sustainable and resilient CC strategies. The results reveal that research on sustainable and resilient CC is growing; however, the field remains dominated by research methods that need to establish causality formally. Furthermore, the research area is fragmented into several subareas, and more conceptual and theoretical work is needed to advance the theoretical foundation of the domain. Finally, a proposed research agenda suggests 17 future avenues for improving the contribution to sustainable and resilient CC research.
