Food Safety Management Software for Food Businesses

Food safety management software digitises the records a food business is required to keep — your HACCP-based food safety management system, temperature logs, opening and closing checks, cleaning schedules, allergen information and traceability. Instead of paper, your team completes tasks on a phone or tablet and every record is timestamped, signed and stored ready for inspection.

Software itself isn't a legal requirement, but having a documented food safety management system based on HACCP principles is — under retained Regulation (EC) No 852/2004. Software is simply the easiest way to create and keep the records an Environmental Health Officer checks, and to maintain a high Food Hygiene Rating.

For a UK business: choose a system aligned to the FSA, Safer Food Better Business and FHRS; that covers HACCP, temperature, checks, allergens and traceability in one place; that staff will actually use on their phones; that exports inspection-ready records; and that has fair, transparent pricing.

The Food Standards Agency's Safer Food, Better Business pack is a free paper-based system, and tools like MyHACCP help small manufacturers build a plan. Dedicated software like Forkto is paid — from £13/month per location — but it removes the paperwork and saves significant admin time.

Yes. Forkto digitises the same records SFBB covers — and more — with timestamps, sign-off and photo evidence, so you have a complete, searchable audit trail instead of folders of paper.

Forkto starts at £13/month per location with unlimited users. See the pricing page for full details.
