Questions
Is Food Safety Diary free?
Yes, the daily diary is free: checks, fridge and freezer readings, notes and backups. Pro is a one-time purchase that adds the inspection PDF, more record types, the 4-weekly review, reminders, your own checklists and more premises. Pro is free for the first 7 days.
Is it an official Food Standards Agency diary?
No. It is an independent recording tool, not made or endorsed by the Food Standards Agency or Food Standards Scotland. It helps you keep your own records alongside your food safety management system, and it is not legal advice.
Can entries be changed afterwards?
Entries can be corrected on the day they are written. After that they lock. Wrong readings are struck out rather than deleted, and anything added to a past day is marked late with the time it was written, in the app and in the PDF.
What temperatures does it check?
Fridges above 8 °C and freezers warmer than -15 °C are flagged, with 5 °C and -18 °C as targets. Pro adds cooking (75 °C), reheating (75 °C, or 82 °C in Scotland), hot holding (63 °C), cooling and deliveries. These are common UK guide values.
Where is my data kept?
On your phone only. There is no account and nothing is sent to us. Save a backup file to your email or Google Drive so you can restore it on a new phone.
Does it work for more than one site?
Yes, with Pro. Each premises keeps its own diary, checklists and reminders.
