SFBB-Style Food Safety Diary
A daily food safety diary template following the SFBB structure. Includes opening checks, cleaning records, temperature logs, delivery checks, and closing checks.
The SFBB-Style Food Safety Diary is a free PDF for UK food businesses with 4 record sheets: daily opening checks (fridge/freezer temps, cleanliness, pest signs), delivery check log (supplier, temp, condition, best before), cooking and cooling temperature records. Download it, print it or fill it in, and keep it with your food safety records; Paddl keeps the same records on a phone with timestamps and reminders.
The Safer Food Better Business (SFBB) diary is how smaller food businesses demonstrate day-to-day food safety management. This free template provides daily diary pages covering all the checks SFBB requires, ready to print and use immediately.
