Fridge Temperature Log FAQ
What temperature ranges does it use?
Sensible defaults you can change: fridges 0 to 5°C (the legal maximum in England is 8°C; 5°C or below is best practice), freezers -18°C or colder, and hot holding 63°C or above. Always follow your own food safety plan and local guidance.
Does it replace Safer Food, Better Business?
No. It supports your food safety management system by keeping your temperature records tidy. It is not a replacement for your plan.
Do I need Microsoft Excel?
No. It works in Microsoft Excel, or free in Google Sheets.
Is it a subscription?
No. It is a one-off payment and the file is yours to keep. There are no monthly fees.
I'm not good with spreadsheets. Is this for me?
Yes. You type into the yellow boxes and everything else works itself out. There are no formulas to write, and the How to use tab walks you through it.
Can I see it before I buy?
Yes. Look through the screenshots above. Your download includes a filled-in DEMO copy and a full PDF guide as well as the blank spreadsheet, so you can see exactly how it works before adding your own.
Does it work on a Mac, iPad or phone?
Yes on a Mac: use Excel for Mac, or open it free in Google Sheets in your web browser. On an iPad or phone you can open it in the free Excel or Google Sheets app, but a computer is easier for setting it up.
Can I get a refund?
Because it is an instant digital download, I can’t offer a refund once the file has been downloaded. If the file is faulty and I can’t fix it, you were charged twice, or you received the wrong product, I will put it right or refund you. See the Refund Policy. This doesn’t affect your statutory rights.

It is an instant digital download. You will get a download link straight after checkout, and by email.
