- 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?
- Check at least once a day — that's what schemes like SFBB call for. Many kitchens check twice, at opening and again later in the day, which is why this template gives you an AM and a PM slot — use both, or just one, to match your own routine.
- 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.
