Free fridge & freezer temperature log

Questions

Common questions

What temperature should a fridge be for food safety?

A commercial fridge holding chilled food should run cold enough to keep food out of the danger zone — this log shows the safe upper limit for your area, and any reading above it should trigger the action recorded in the corrective-action column.

How often should I check fridge and freezer temperatures?

Use the frequency in your food-safety plan and review it against the risks at your site. The template provides morning and afternoon slots; adjust it to the checks your kitchen needs.

Is this fridge temperature log free to use?

Yes. Print it and use it as often as you like, at no cost. If you'd rather not chase paper, ProCafe records the same checks on your team's phones, flags out-of-range readings and keeps an inspection-ready history — free for 14 days, no card required.

Do I have to write it down, or can I log temperatures digitally?

Either works. Paper logs are accepted by inspectors as long as they're kept up to date. ProCafe does the same job digitally: time-stamped readings, automatic out-of-range alerts and records you can export for an inspection in seconds.
