Do I need to pay or sign up to download it?

No. The PDF and the editable Markdown version are free to download and use in your own food safety management system.

Does a template replace a food safety management system?

No. A template documents your plan; an EHO also expects dated monitoring records, corrective actions and staff training evidence. Haccora keeps those records automatically so your paperwork is always inspection-ready.

From template to living records

A template proves you have a plan. An inspector also wants dated evidence that the plan is followed every day — fridge and probe temperatures, cleaning sign-offs, deliveries, allergen checks and corrective actions.

Haccora turns this template into scheduled checks on phones and tablets, with automatic reminders, photo evidence and an inspection pack you can hand over in seconds.
