01 // Facility & Service Check

Address & record title Optional
02 // Holding Temperature Entries

Cold holding ≤ 41°F · hot holding ≥ 135°F. A reading 5°F or more outside the limit is a critical deviation.

03 // Cooling Batch Progress

Stage 1: 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours. Stage 2: to 41°F or lower within 6 hours of the cooling start.

04 // Corrective Action & Evidence

Every failing item stays on hold until it has its own corrective note and its own evidence file. Photos (JPEG, PNG, WebP) are resized in this browser; PDFs up to 450 KB. Evidence never leaves this device.

No reading is outside its reference range, so no corrective action is needed.

This desk supports temperature monitoring and documentation. It does not replace your approved HACCP plan or local health authority requirements, and it does not certify compliance.

Practitioner tools

Manager sign-off, retained history, unit watchlists and clean certification output are part of Pro at $19 per month. Everything above stays free.

Locked: these tools unlock with Pro. Select one to compare Free and Pro.

    Show the math

    °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. Readings are rounded to 0.1°F before comparison. Cooling elapsed time = checkpoint time − cooling start (an overnight batch adds 24 h).

    Assumptions & local authority

    • Reference ranges follow the FDA Model Food Code: cold holding at 41°F or lower, hot holding at 135°F or higher, cooling from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and to 41°F or lower within 6 hours total.
    • A holding reading 5°F or more outside its limit is treated as a critical deviation.
    • Your local health authority rules and your facility’s approved HACCP plan control where they differ. This record documents monitoring; it is not an inspection result and does not certify compliance.
