Temperature logs are a crucial part of your food management system, they ensure your fridges and freezers are running at safe temperatures and your food is safe.
Temperature checks can help to identify any potential hazards, so you can take corrective action (repair equipment, get rid of unsafe food, adjust temperatures etc.) before it becomes a problem.
Fridge and freezer temperature log sheets
The Food Standards Agency recommends that you check and record fridge and freezer temperatures at least once per day. Your fridge should be between 0ºC and 8ºC. And your freezer at around -18ºC.
