Daily Food Safety Temperature Log Form

A daily temperature log template — record fridge, hot-holding and probe readings each service, ready for the EHO.

Description

Temperature records are the first thing an environmental health officer asks to see, and “we check it, honest” doesn’t cut it. This log makes recording them effortless: a simple table for each unit and reading, service by service, with space to note whether it was in range and what you did if it wasn’t. Fill it in on a phone at the hatch and you’ve got a dated, defensible record. It’s built around the numbers that matter — chilled food at 8°C or below, hot holding at 63°C or above, cooking to a 75°C core — so your team knows the targets and the log captures the proof. The corrective-action column is the clever bit: recording that you spotted a warm fridge and acted on it is exactly what keeps your hygiene rating intact. Use it as your daily temperature record on every trading day. Free, brandable, and the paperwork that turns a routine check into a rating you can defend.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Daily Food Safety Temperature Log Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What temperatures should I be recording?

Chilled food at 8°C or below, hot holding at 63°C or above, and cooking to a 75°C core (or an equivalent time/temperature). The log captures each reading against those targets.

Why keep a temperature log?

Because it’s the evidence an EHO looks for and it protects your hygiene rating. A dated record of checks and corrective actions shows you’re in control.

What if a reading is out of range?

You record the action you took — adjusted, moved or discarded. Showing you spotted and fixed it is exactly what inspectors want to see.

Can I fill it in on a phone?

Yes — it’s designed to be completed quickly at the hatch, service by service, on any device.

How often should I log?

At least at opening and across each service. The form lets you record multiple checks a day against each unit.

Is the template free?

Yes — free with a Fun Forms account and fully brandable.
