An artificial produce includes a housing with at least one shell. At least one data logger for temperature measurement is placed in an area of a core of the housing and a pulp simulant is integrated at least partly in the housing of the artificial produce to show optimized simulation of thermal behavior of real produce. The form and outer surface of the at least one shell replicate the form and surface texture of the real produce simulated. The at least one shell forms at least one fluidtight chamber accessible from the outside by at least one opening which are closable with plugs. The at least one chamber is filled with the pulp simulant in the form of a gel-like filling composition comprising a water-carbohydrate mixture and a gelling agent showing similar thermal conductivity, density, heat capacity and freezing point as the pulp of the produce to be simulated.
