Records are a required part of food safety — and paper makes it harder

The FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act requires food manufacturers to keep records of their food safety activities. For small facilities, this usually means tracking temperature monitoring, sanitation, corrective actions, receiving, and more. Most do it on paper — which creates its own problems.

Records should be contemporaneous

FSMA generally requires records logged at the time of the activity — not filled in later. FoodSafetyLogger timestamps every record automatically at submission.

🔎

Records need to be findable

An inspector may ask for specific records on short notice. A digital log is much faster to search and export than a binder.

Corrections need to be traceable

If a record is corrected, the original entry should be preserved. FoodSafetyLogger logs every correction with a reason, name, and timestamp.

👤

Records should show who did what

Every entry in FoodSafetyLogger captures the worker’s name and shift at the time of submission.

What FoodSafetyLogger Provides

Organized records your team can actually maintain

FoodSafetyLogger gives your team a simple way to log daily food safety activities — and gives managers a way to review, correct, and export those records. It does not write your food safety plan or tell you what your critical limits should be.

🌡

Temperature monitoring records

Cooking, cooling, storage, and receiving. Automatic pass/fail. Corrective actions linked to flagged readings.

🧹

Sanitation records

Who cleaned what, when, with what. Allergen changeover steps documented separately.

Corrective action records

Document what went wrong, when, and what was done to address it. Linked back to the original record.

📦

Receiving records

Incoming ingredient lots, supplier names, condition at receiving, temperature if applicable.

🔒

Locked records with correction history

Submitted records are locked. Manager edits are logged. Nothing is silently overwritten.

📄

PDF export

Export any date range. Clean, formatted output with timestamps, worker names, and correction history.

Important

What this app does not do

A note on what this app does and doesn’t do. FoodSafetyLogger helps organize food safety records. It does not replace your food safety plan, HACCP plan, PCQI, consultant, attorney, or regulatory obligations. If you have questions about your specific compliance requirements, work with a qualified food safety professional.

FoodSafetyLogger is a recordkeeping tool. It does not:

Small manufacturers managing their own records

Owner-operators who handle food safety themselves and need records that are easier to find and share

Plant managers at small facilities preparing for a first or follow-up FDA inspection

QA coordinators managing multiple daily log types across a small team

Facilities transitioning from paper binders to organized digital records

Common questions

Does FoodSafetyLogger make my facility FSMA compliant?
No. FSMA compliance involves much more than recordkeeping — a written food safety plan, hazard analysis, preventive controls, a trained PCQI, and more. FoodSafetyLogger helps you maintain organized daily records, which is one part of that picture. It is not a substitute for a food safety program.
What kinds of daily records does FSMA typically require?
Requirements vary by facility type, food category, and regulatory classification. Generally, FSMA's Preventive Controls rules require records of monitoring activities, corrective actions, and verification activities. Consult a PCQI or food safety professional to understand what applies to your facility.
Do records need a timestamp to be valid?
FSMA generally requires records to be created contemporaneously — meaning at the time the activity occurs, not reconstructed afterward. FoodSafetyLogger captures timestamps automatically at the moment a record is submitted.
What if I need to correct a record?
Managers can edit or void any submitted record using a Manager PIN. The original value is preserved. The correction shows who made the change, when, and why. Nothing is deleted.
Can I export records for an FDA inspection?
Yes. The PDF export lets you pull any date range for any module. The resulting document is clean and formatted, showing records with timestamps, worker names, and any correction history. Whether those records satisfy specific inspection requirements is a regulatory question — consult a food safety professional.
Is my data stored on a server?
No. Records are stored on the device where they are logged. Nothing is uploaded to a server. Use the backup feature to download a copy of all records for safekeeping.
