HACCP for UK food businesses
The food-safety folder,
without the folder.
PrepShield replaces the paper SFBB and CookSafe binder with a digital HACCP system — fridge temps, cooking checks, deliveries, cleaning, staff records and house rules, all in one place. When a check fails, a corrective action is raised for you.

Everything the inspector expects to see
PrepShield mirrors the structure of the official Safer Food, Better Business and CookSafe paperwork — so your daily routine, and an EHO visit, both map straight onto the app.
Temperature logs
Refrigeration, cooked, reheated and hot-holding checks with pass/fail worked out for you against HACCP thresholds. Log by hand, Bluetooth probe, or automatically from sensors.
Deliveries
Goods-in checks in seconds: temperature, packaging, dates, vehicle condition. Rejected deliveries raise a corrective action automatically.
Cleaning schedule
Tasks with frequency, method, chemical and dilution — signed off day by day, with a full completion history.
Staff records
Employees, training and certificates with expiry alerts, plus sickness and return-to-work exclusion tracking.
House rules & flow diagrams
Your written food-safety management system — hygiene, cross-contamination, pests, waste, allergens and more — plus HACCP process flow diagrams, pre-filled with sensible examples you can edit.
Corrective actions
Every failed check or rejected delivery opens an action with what went wrong and what was done about it — reviewed and closed by a manager.
Failures don’t slip through
On paper, a bad reading is a scribbled note that’s easy to forget. In PrepShield, it’s a tracked corrective action from the moment it happens.
A check fails
A fridge drifts out of range overnight, or a reheat reads 71°C. PrepShield flags it instantly — whether logged by staff or by a sensor.
An action opens itself
A corrective action is created automatically with the unit, reading and time attached. Nothing depends on someone remembering to write it down.
You show what you did
Record the fix — recheck, discard, engineer call — and close it. The full trail stays on record for your next inspection.
Fridges that log themselves
Manual checks are fine — but fridges fail at 3am, not at 8am. Connect sensors and PrepShield records temperatures around the clock, checks them against each unit’s safe range, and raises an action the moment one drifts out.
- Plug-and-play probe nodes — an ESP32 with waterproof DS18B20 probes, running our open firmware. Sits in the freezer cable-glanded, posts readings over Wi-Fi.
- Home Assistant — already running smart-home sensors? Forward any temperature entity to PrepShield with one automation.
- Zigbee, Sonoff & Tuya — cheap off-the-shelf sensors work too, via Zigbee2MQTT or their own bridges.
- Bluetooth thermometer — capture a probe reading straight into a cooking or reheat check from the browser.

Walk into your next inspection calm
When the Environmental Health Officer asks for your records, everything is already in order: dated temperature logs, delivery checks, cleaning sign-offs, training certificates and a documented food-safety management system — organised the way they expect, because it’s built on the same structure as SFBB and CookSafe.
“Show me your temperature records for the last month” goes from a ten-minute rummage through a greasy folder to a ten-second scroll.
Owner, manager and staff roles keep everyone doing their part — staff log checks, managers review and close actions, owners see everything.
One plan. Everything in it.
No per-feature upsells — a fiver a week to never worry about the folder again.
