Safer Food Better Business logs: what you must keep vs what’s optional

Safer Food Better Business (SFBB) is flexible by design. Many kitchens over-record because they don’t know what actually matters.

Logs inspectors usually expect

  • Daily temperature checks
  • Cleaning records
  • Allergen controls
  • Staff training evidence

What’s often optional

  • Duplicate paperwork
  • Overly detailed tick sheets
  • Manual repetition of digital records

The golden rule

If a record helps you stay in control, keep it. If it exists purely out of fear, inspectors usually see through that.
