Twice-daily fridge, freezer and hot-hold checks, logged in seconds on a phone. No binder, no biro, no hunting for March's records when the inspector asks.
Recording a fridge reading in Lemon: in range, ticked, done.
Lemon splits the day into AM and PM checking periods with a clear noon boundary, matching the twice-daily routine EHOs expect. The home screen shows exactly which units still need a reading, so nothing slips through a busy service.
Every fridge, freezer and hot-hold you add carries its own target range, pre-filled with sensible defaults you can adjust. Tap in the reading on a large numpad and Lemon tells you instantly whether it is in range. An out-of-range reading opens a tracked issue with a corrective action, which is exactly the paper trail HACCP Principle 5 asks for.
Readings cannot be quietly edited after the fact. If someone logs a mistake, a manager voids the entry with a note and the original stays visible on the record. Every reading carries who logged it and when, which is what makes a digital log credible at inspection.
Twice a day is the routine most UK EHOs expect: once at opening and once later in the day. Lemon is built around that rhythm, with separate morning and evening checking periods so a missed check is visible immediately.
Keep chilled food at 5°C or below in practice. The legal maximum in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is 8°C, but running at 5°C or below gives you a safety margin. Lemon pre-fills a 0°C to 5°C target range for fridges, which you can adjust per unit.
No. Records in Lemon are immutable once saved, which is what makes them trustworthy at inspection. If someone enters a mistake, a manager can void the entry with a note, and the original stays on the audit trail.
Yes. EHOs accept digital records provided they are complete, available during the inspection and exportable. Lemon shows any day's checks in a couple of taps and exports a clean PDF on the spot.
