How to use this template

1

Check twice daily minimum

Record fridge and freezer temperatures at least twice daily — once at opening and once mid-service.

2

Record the reading

Write the actual temperature, not just a tick. EHO inspectors want to see real numbers.

3

Act on problems immediately

If a reading is out of range, take corrective action and record what you did in the action column.

4

File completed logs

Keep completed temperature logs for at least 12 months as evidence for inspections.

If a fridge is above 8°C, check food safety immediately and record your actions
Keep a spare thermometer in case your primary one fails
Paddl can automate temperature logging with digital records and automatic breach alerts
