HACCP temperature triage

Is this fridge still food-safe?

Enter the reading, the worst reading you have seen, and how long it has been out. The tool checks it against Craven’s HACCP temperature bands, writes the corrective-action brief, and pulls live monitoring or replacement kit.

01 / What are you checking?

Use a probed stock temperature where possible. A cabinet display is useful, but the corrective-action record should say what was checked.

For chilled equipment, 0-5°C is the target band in the Craven HACCP log.
Use the highest chilled reading, warmest freezer reading, or lowest hot-hold reading.
If unknown, enter your best recorded estimate and say so in the brief.

    Grounding

    • Craven’s HACCP temperature log sets fridges, display units and cold rooms at 0-5°C, notes 8°C as the UK chill legal maximum, freezers at -18°C or below, and hot holding at 63°C or above.
    • The same log says out-of-range readings should be re-checked after 30 minutes, stock moved to a working unit if still out, thermostat, door seals and airflow checked, action recorded, and Craven called if the fault persists.
    • Live product data comes from the public WooCommerce Store API. Monitoring category 3751 is always loaded; replacement rails switch to upright fridge 765, upright freezer 3881 or multideck 719 depending on the check.
