Why food businesses are moving away from paper templates

Paper logbooks get lost, damaged and questioned by inspectors. Digital logs provide timestamped, verifiable records that align with FSANZ Standard 3.2.2A and council expectations.

What goes in a food safety log?

A complete food safety log covers three core areas — all built into FoodSafe Logbook.

Temperature Log

Equipment name (fridge/freezer)
Temperature reading (°C)
Staff name
Date & time (auto‑stamped)
Notes if out of range

Cleaning Checklist

Optional notes

Photo Evidence

Meets Australian food safety requirements

• FSANZ Standard 3.2.2A — Food Safety Management Tools
