SFBB for home bakers (not the official pack)
SFBB (Safer Food, Better Business) is the Food Standards Agency approach many small food businesses use for day-to-day food safety. Searches often point at the official SFBB pack, catering pack or book. BakeSafe is different: a digital SFBB-style diary and daily checks for home bakers and cake sheds.
On bake days that usually means opening and closing checks, fridge temperatures, and a short diary of what happened. BakeSafe keeps those on your phone or tablet so the habit is easier than a binder in a drawer. It does not replace the official SFBB pack.

Frequently asked questions
What is SFBB for home bakers?
SFBB stands for Safer Food, Better Business, the FSA approach many small food businesses use for day-to-day records such as checks, temperatures and diary notes. Home bakers often keep a simpler SFBB-style diary and daily checks rather than a full catering pack.
Does BakeSafe replace the official SFBB pack or SFBB book?
No. BakeSafe is not the official SFBB pack, catering pack or book. It helps you keep SFBB-style digital diary notes, daily checks and fridge temps. You remain responsible for meeting local authority and FSA expectations.
Can I keep an SFBB diary and fridge temperature logs in BakeSafe?
Yes. Diary notes, opening/closing style checks and fridge temperature logging are part of daily tasks on bake days. See also fridge temperature log.
Is this useful before an EHO visit?
Many bakers want clear records ready when an officer asks. A baker has used BakeSafe in an inspection alongside their other paperwork and the EHO was impressed. That is one experience, not an official endorsement. Daily task records (including fridge logs) auto-delete after 6 months; an EHO confirmed they would typically only need to see about the last 3 months. Download copies if you want a longer backup. You must still follow official guidance and your own procedures.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 7 days, no card needed, at bakesafe.co.uk.
