What's inside — and why an EHO cares

Every UK food business must run a food safety management system based on HACCP principles and keep records that prove it. Those records influence confidence in management, one of the three areas covered in our guide to food hygiene ratings explained.

The records inspectors ask for first

Opening and closing checks. Fridge and freezer temperatures, with safe ranges printed on the page. Hot-holding and cooking temperatures. Delivery acceptance. A weekly cleaning schedule, and a corrective-action log for anything out of range. The template covers all of them — each page is a day, fill it in at the pass, file it by week.

Built to match SFBB

The structure mirrors the FSA's Safer Food, Better Business pack, so it slots straight into an existing SFBB folder — no re-training, no explaining a new system to the EHO.

Frequently asked questions

Is this enough for a cafe EHO inspection?

Yes, as your daily records. The sheets cover what an EHO asks a cafe for first: fridge and milk temperatures, cleaning, deliveries and corrective actions. Fill them in daily, sign them and file by week. When paper gets tedious, digital HACCP checklists run the same checks on your team's phones.

Does it cover allergens for counter cakes and sandwiches?

The quick reference card lists all 14 UK allergens to pin by the counter. If you sell items packed on site, PPDS labelling under Natasha's Law also applies; our 14 allergens guide and the bakery version of this template cover it in more depth.
