Everything about the HACCP temperature log for hospitality
What is a HACCP temperature log?
A temperature log is a form on which you note the temperature of your fridges and freezers every day. In hospitality this is a fixed part of HACCP and the hygiene code: you have to be able to show that your cooling and freezing equipment is at the right temperature. With this free tool you build your own fill-in temperature log in a minute and receive it straight to your inbox as a PDF, ready to print and put up by your fridges.
Why is a temperature log required in hospitality?
The food safety authority checks whether your food safety is in order. A completed temperature log is the proof that you actively monitor your cooling. If you cannot show any records during an inspection, you risk a fine that can start from a few hundred euros. A well kept temperature record does not only prevent fines, it also helps you spot spoilage and stock loss in time.
Which temperatures should you record?
The target values differ per storage spot. Keep a fridge at 7 degrees at most, in practice often between 0 and 4 degrees. A freezer should stay at minus 18 degrees or colder, usually between minus 25 and minus 18 degrees. Hot holding equipment stays above 60 degrees. On your temperature log you note the measured value per point, so deviations stand out right away.
How often and how long should you keep records?
Note the temperature at least once a day, preferably twice: in the morning at opening and in the afternoon or evening. Keep the completed logs for at least two years, so you can show them during an inspection. If you see a reading outside the target range, take action and write down at the bottom of the sheet what you did.
Fill in a temperature log by hand or measure automatically?
A paper temperature log is a fine start, but it takes time every day and a reading is sometimes forgotten or filled in afterwards. Coolwatcher measures your fridges and freezers automatically, keeps your HACCP record inspection ready and warns you over WhatsApp, and even calls you at night, the moment a temperature drifts off. That way you never miss a failure and always have a complete, reliable record without paperwork.
Coolwatcher combines a wireless temperature sensor with automatic temperature logging. See how it works or explore all features.
