Fridge & Freezer Temperature Log

0/6
  • Check and write down the fridge temperature at least once a day
  • Your fridge should read 5°C or below to keep food out of the danger zone
  • Check and write down the freezer temperature too; it should read minus 18°C or below
  • Check the reading against a separate probe now and then to be sure it is right
  • If the fridge is too warm, turn it down, move the food, and check again shortly after
  • Never put hot food straight in, it warms everything else up

Good to know

By law cold food must be kept below 8°C, but the Food Standards Agency recommends 5°C to be safe. Freezers should run at minus 18°C or colder.
