Your temperature probe is only as reliable as your last calibration check. Under Regulation (EC) 852/2004 and the Food Safety Act 1990, UK food businesses are legally required to ensure temperature monitoring equipment is accurate and fit for purpose. There's no fixed statutory interval — but 'fit for purpose' means you need documented evidence that your probes are calibrated, checked, and corrected regularly. Ice-point checks (0°C in crushed ice slurry) should be logged every single service. Formal calibration records need dates, results, and sign-off. If your probe reads 2°C high and you're storing at what you think is 5°C, you're already outside legal limits — and you won't know it. An EHO will ask for those records. Chef-Ops-Pro logs every check, flags anomalies, and keeps your calibration trail audit-ready.

DARK KITCHEN

"Dark kitchens get inspected too.

No dining room doesn't mean no EHO.

Just means no warning."

Nothing beats the feeling of being audit-ready 👌

Clear labels. Accurate allergens. Consistent systems.

Labl .it helps kitchens stay prepared every single day, not just when inspections happen 👀

"Running a kitchen in 2026
with a clipboard from 2004.
Respect yourself."

"Paper rota.
Paper temps.
Paper HACCP.
One inspection away from a very bad week."

SURPRISE / DID YOU KNOW

"UK law requires signed temperature records.

'We do it verbally' is not a thing."

"Blast chiller logs aren't optional.

Most kitchens don't keep them.

Most kitchens don't know that."

"She didn't touch the food.

She opened the fridge, checked the log.

There wasn't one.

1 star."

"EHO inspections are unannounced.

Your paper folder is not a defence.

It's evidence."

"The chef knew the temps were fine.

He just couldn't prove it.

That's the whole problem."

Someone grabs the probe, scribbles a number on a soggy clipboard sheet, and shoves it back in the drawer. Three weeks later, an EHO officer asks to see your fridge temperature records — and what you hand over looks like it was completed by a different person every single day. Because it was. Different handwriting, missing entries, a Tuesday in March that apparently never existed. This is not a compliance record. It is a liability. When temperature logs live on paper, the gaps are invisible until the moment they matter most. Digital logging captures every reading, timestamps it, flags anything out of range, and pulls into a clean EHO-ready report the second you need it. Chef-Ops-Pro keeps your cold chain airtight — on paper, it was never really closed.

The EHO doesn't care that your fridge was fine all week. They care what your records say.

A single missing temperature log — one shift, one oversight — can unravel an otherwise spotless inspection. And when it's paper-based, gaps happen. Sheets get lost, readings get skipped, and nobody notices until someone's standing in your kitchen with a clipboard.

Chef-Ops-Pro digitises refrigeration temperature logging across every unit, every site. Timestamped, tamper-proof, and pulled into an EHO-ready PDF report the moment you need it.

No gaps. No scrambling. No explaining yourself.

Your fridge was fine all week. Now you can prove it.
