Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs you enter, by the method stated below it. The only constants ProbeLedger supplies are the published temperatures, holding limits, allergen list and HACCP principles, each cited where it is used. The defaults are a worked example to replace with your own.
A food hygiene inspection checklist UK kitchens can run before the environmental health officer arrives unannounced: the food safety management system present and in use, the fridge and hot-hold temperatures recorded on the day they were taken, the probe checks with the corrective action where a reading failed, the allergen matrix current, the cleaning schedule signed, the staff training recorded, and the structure and pests walked. The food safety audit checklist on this site runs that walk and scores it, free and without an account; ProbeLedger Pro keeps every check dated against the site.

The paperwork half: the system, in use
The officer asks for the food safety management system first and then checks it is being used: today's records, not a binder written the night before. The checks are dated at the moment they were taken, which is what ProbeLedger's log does and a reconstructed diary does not.
The temperatures: fridge, hot-hold, cooking
The Danger Zone the FSA names is between 8 - 63°C, so the fridge readings, the hot-hold readings and the cooking checks against 70°C for 2 minutes are the rows the officer samples. Each failed reading needs its corrective action written beside it, because a failure with an action is a working system and a failure without one is a finding.
Allergens, cleaning, training
The allergen matrix current for today's menu, the cleaning schedule signed by the person who cleaned, the training recorded per member of staff with dates. Each is a section on the checklist, and a gap in any of them is a gap the officer writes up.
The walk: structure, pests, practices
The fabric of the kitchen, the pest checks and what the officer sees people doing while they are there. The audit checklist on this site walks all of it and scores the readiness; Pro keeps the runs dated so improvement is visible. Platform pricing, for the record: FoodDocs Lite is $99 per site per month billed monthly or $79 billed annually; ProbeLedger Pro is $49 a month, flat, whoever is in the kitchen, and every tool on this site computes free with no account.
