Fridge temperature log for UK home bakers
Record morning and evening fridge checks on bake days - digitally, on your phone - instead of a paper sheet that lives in a drawer.
No card needed. Log temps on the free trial.
Why bakers keep a fridge temp log
Fridge checks are a simple habit that shows you are watching cold storage - useful for your own peace of mind and if an officer asks how you keep food safe.
BakeSafe puts fridge temperature logging inside daily tasks, next to opening/closing style checks and diary notes, so it is one open of the app on a bake day - not a separate binder.
How fridge logs work in BakeSafe
Open daily tasks
On a bake day, open BakeSafe and go to the checks for that date.
Enter fridge readings
Log morning and evening fridge temperatures (and freezer if you use it) as you go.
Keep a clear history
Recent days stay in your account so you can look back when you need to. Daily task records (including fridge logs) auto-delete after 6 months. We checked with an EHO that they would typically only need to see about the last 3 months, so that window is covered. Download a copy in the app if you want to keep records longer.
Who this is for
- Home bakers who want a simple digital fridge log
- Cake sheds keeping SFBB-style records without a paper folder
- Anyone who already needs allergen labels and wants temps in the same app
Used in a real inspection
A baker has used BakeSafe in an EHO inspection alongside their other paperwork. The officer was impressed. That is one baker’s experience, not an official endorsement, and every inspection is different. You remain responsible for your own records and following current guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Do home bakers need a fridge temperature log?
Many keep fridge checks as part of everyday food safety records. Expectations can vary. Follow current FSA guidance and your local authority for your business.
How long does BakeSafe keep fridge logs?
Fridge logs sit with daily tasks and auto-delete after 6 months. An EHO confirmed they would typically only need to see about the last 3 months. If you want copies beyond that, download them from the app before older days are removed.
Is this separate from SFBB records?
Fridge temps sit with BakeSafe’s SFBB-style daily records in the same daily tasks area, not a second app.
Can I export records?
Yes. Download records from the app (PDF/CSV where available) if you want your own backup, especially before older days auto-delete.
Has an EHO seen BakeSafe?
Yes. A baker used BakeSafe in an inspection alongside their other paperwork and the EHO was impressed. That does not mean BakeSafe is officially approved or that every officer will respond the same way.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 7 days, no card needed, at bakesafe.co.uk.
